Need asbestos removal in Hurst Green?
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Hurst Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Asbestos removal in Hurst Green
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. People often contact us about debris left from a previous job and cement water tanks in lofts, including floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes.
In Hurst Green, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.

Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are usually non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.

Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.

Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

What to avoid
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
