Asbestos removal for Horton properties
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed, before anyone starts. People often contact us about sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and broken sheets in gardens, including cement roof sheets, floor tiles and cement soffits.
In Horton, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Where asbestos turns up
Materials deteriorate with age: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Asbestos found during building work
- Debris left from a previous job
- Artex ceilings before renovation
In a school like St Mary's CofE (Aided) Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Horton
Could my house in Horton contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Horton can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Horton from London?
We cover Horton, about 13 miles from central London.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Horton?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
What happens next
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Book the replacement before removal
- File the consignment note
- Share any survey or test results
Things not to do
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
The scope of asbestos removal
So you know what to expect:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Making good is normally a separate job
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Common materials
- Soffits (cement)
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flue pipes
- Water tanks
- Panels and boards
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Bitumen roof felt
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
Materials, one by one
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Your options compared
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, rather than halting work when it’s found. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
What you get
- Reports and results you can share
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Accredited laboratory results
- Waste paperwork for every removal
