Asbestos removal for Horden
Questions from Horden
Do you cover small places like Horden?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Horden from London?
Horden is about 36 miles from central London, well within our area.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.

Where asbestos turns up
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Old cold water tanks
- Garage roof sheets
At a school such as Colliers Green Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Your options compared
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
What you get
- Houses, flats and business premises
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Accredited laboratory results

For businesses and landlords in Horden
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What happens
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. In winter, the light goes in Horden by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
