For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
For managing agents and freeholders in Horton, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
About our asbestos removal in Horton
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Whether it’s old cold water tanks and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, we deal with floor tiles, textured coatings and cement roof sheets and more.
Rural removal near Horton can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Common questions in Horton
Could my house in Horton contain asbestos?
If your home in Horton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Horton from London?
We cover Horton, about 19 miles from central London.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Horton?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor jobs don’t generally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Horton
Materials deteriorate with age: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is when removal comes up.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old waste on site
- Artex before plastering
- Old flues
Older buildings in Horton, near Church of St Michael or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
What your quote should include
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- If the price includes VAT
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- Whether the job needs notifying

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
What’s included, and what isn’t
A few things to be aware of:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Artex and textured coatings
- Bitumen roof felt
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Flue pipes
- Gutters and downpipes
- Panels and boards
- Soffits (cement)
- Water tanks
Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How much there is
- How much waste there is
- The survey scope
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Approximate dimensions
- A clear close-up
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Labels, if any
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, normally tightly bound.
