Asbestos removal in Silver Hill
Removal is not 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 is the case. From old flues and garage roof sheets, we cover water tanks, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles.
In a village like Silver Hill, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Silver Hill questions
Is asbestos common in Silver Hill homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Silver Hill may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Silver Hill from London?
Silver Hill is about 42 miles from central London, well within our area.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, generally tightly bound.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Making good is normally a separate job

Avoid these
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.

Why people call us in Silver Hill
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Cement flues and gutters
- Loft water tanks
- Textured coatings
At a school such as Hurst Green Church of England Primary School and Nursery, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

Duty holders and landlords in Silver Hill
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
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.
