What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
How asbestos removal works in Tudeley
In homes, in Tudeley as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles.

Questions from Tudeley
Do you cover small places like Tudeley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Tudeley homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
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.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Weighing up your options
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
