Asbestos removal in Rush Green
How asbestos removal works in Rush Green
Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We will tell you if your job in Rush Green falls into that category. People often contact us about debris left from a previous job and finds during refurbishment, involving cement roof sheets, floor tiles and flue pipes.
In Rush Green, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

DIY and asbestos
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.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Your options compared
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is usually right. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.

Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
