About our asbestos removal in Holton
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. We often deal with cement soffits, cement roof sheets and floor tiles, and people usually contact us about old sheds and coal bunkers and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.
Rural removal near Holton can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Holton questions
Do older homes in Holton have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Holton from London?
Holton is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
How it works
Our team uses disposable coveralls and respiratory protection, and keep everyone else out of the work area. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. Outdoor removal in Holton is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:25pm.

Helpful guides
What’s included, and what is not
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits (cement)
- Flue pipes

- Garage and shed roofs
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Water tanks
Duty holders and landlords in Holton
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Holton must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If your business premises in Holton were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

How we price asbestos removal
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Disposal costs
- The quantity or area
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A clear close-up
- Street parking nearby
- A photo of the whole area
- An idea of size
Include any existing survey or test when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
What happens next
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Going forward:
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Book the replacement before removal
Don’ts
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
