About our asbestos removal in Leeds
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. Typical jobs include old sheds and coal bunkers and cement flues and gutters, including textured coatings, cement roof sheets and floor tiles.
In Leeds, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What we deal with in Leeds
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Kent may contain it.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Asbestos garages
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Old cold water tanks
In older buildings across Leeds, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
After we have finished in Leeds
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- File the consignment note
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Share any survey or test results
Avoid these
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.

Leeds questions
Do you come out to small villages like Leeds?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Leeds and the area around Hollingbourne station?
Yes. Hollingbourne station is about 1.6 miles north-east of Leeds, and we cover both.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The category of work
- The quantity or area
- How much waste there is
- How easy it is to reach
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
