South Holmwood questions
Do you work near Holmwood station?
Yes. Holmwood station is about 0.8 miles south of South Holmwood, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like South Holmwood?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
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.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
How can I get a price?

Asbestos removal for South Holmwood properties
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. Whether it’s old cold water tanks and Artex before plastering, we deal with flue pipes, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes.
In areas like South Holmwood, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Garage and shed roofs
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Flue pipes
- Gutters and downpipes
- Soffits (cement)

Materials we deal with

Duty holders and landlords in South Holmwood
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Avoid these
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
