Asbestos removal across HP20
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical materials include gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and water tanks, and typical jobs are outbuildings with cement roofs and cement water tanks in lofts.
If we find more than expected, or something different, we stop and talk to you, rather than carrying on regardless.
- Send us the postcode and photos

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
- Tell us about any previous survey
- File the consignment note
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Book the replacement before removal
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.

Your questions about asbestos removal in HP20
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
Do you cover HP20?
Yes, we do: our area includes HP20 and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
