Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Asbestos garages
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
Landlords near Ashford International station often time removal for when a property is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples

Asbestos removal for Stanhope properties
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is usually non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. Whether it’s old cold water tanks and cement flues and gutters, we cover water tanks, textured coatings and flue pipes and more.
Homes in Stanhope 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 will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Duty holders and landlords in Stanhope
If your business premises in Stanhope were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Your options compared
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Clear advice on your options

Common questions in Stanhope
Do older homes in Stanhope have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Stanhope may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Stanhope from London?
Stanhope is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
