Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you manage or own a block in Holywell, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
How we price asbestos removal
What drives the price:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How much there is
- How much waste there is
- The survey scope
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- How we’d reach it
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Cracks or breaks
- A rough size or measurement
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.

Helpful guides
After we have finished in Holywell
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
To avoid problems in future:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Share any survey or test results
What to avoid
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Holywell
Could my house in Holywell contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Holywell may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Watford High Street station?
Yes. Watford High Street station is about 1.4 miles east of Holywell, and we cover both.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. We quote each job individually.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you cover Holywell?
Yes, we do: Holywell is within the area we cover in Greater London. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.

We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
