Asbestos removal for Monken Hadley properties
Removal isn’t always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. Typical jobs include garage roofs and whole garages and cement flues and gutters, involving cement soffits, floor tiles and textured coatings.
In towns and villages like Monken Hadley, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Helpful guides
For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Monken Hadley were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
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.
What we deal with in Monken Hadley
Materials deteriorate with age: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is when removal comes up.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Old cold water tanks
- Cement flues and gutters
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
Older buildings in Monken Hadley, near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.
What to look for in a quote
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. 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.
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Common materials
- Bitumen roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Soffits (cement)
- Garage and shed roofs
- Panels and boards
- Flue pipes
- Water tanks
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
Questions from Monken Hadley
Can you work in Monken Hadley with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you work near Hadley Wood station?
Yes. Hadley Wood station is about 1 mile north-east of Monken Hadley, and we cover both.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Which option is right?
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What you get
- Clear advice on your options
- Accredited laboratory results
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
