Asbestos removal in Pound Hill
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Asbestos removal in Pound Hill
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, but it still needs the right controls. Whether it’s old cold water tanks and debris left from a previous job, we cover cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits.
Homes in Pound Hill with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building, which can often be dealt with together. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

For businesses and landlords in Pound Hill
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.

Pound Hill: your questions answered
Do you cover Pound Hill from London?
Pound Hill is about 26 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Three Bridges station?
Yes, we cover Pound Hill and the area towards Three Bridges station, about 0.6 miles south-west.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
