Asbestos removal near Pollards Hill
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. People often contact us about asbestos garages and old sheds and coal bunkers, involving water tanks, flue pipes and floor tiles.
In Pollards Hill, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

For businesses and landlords in Pollards Hill
If your business premises in Pollards Hill were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What happens next
File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.
A few practical points:
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Let us know where we can park
Avoid these
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
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.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Quotes vary because of:
- The type of material and its condition
