Asbestos removal in Shover's Green
You do not always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will say so. We often deal with cement soffits, flue pipes and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and old sheds and coal bunkers.
In Shover's Green, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Typical removal jobs in Shover's Green
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Old waste on site
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Artex before plastering
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
For non-domestic buildings like Uplands Community College, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What paperwork you get
- The method and controls
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Questions from Shover's Green
Do you come out to small villages like Shover's Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Shover's Green from London?
Shover's Green is about 37 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
