Asbestos Removal in Hedgerley

Asbestos in Hedgerley
Hedgerley is a small rural parish of period cottages, a village pub and scattered farmsteads set in the wooded country between Farnham Common and Beaconsfield. Its historic buildings are pre-asbestos in origin, so the material arrives via later farm and domestic works: cement sheet barn and stable roofs, garage and log store roofs, flue linings, water tanks and textured ceilings from post-war refurbishment. The parish also has former gravel and brickearth workings with associated sheds and yards where industrial-grade cement sheeting was used heavily. Any conversion of a farm building here should be treated as intrusive survey territory from the outset.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Hedgerley properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

Four steps to certainty
Plan
We produce a plan of work (or notify the HSE for licensed jobs), method statement and risk assessment specific to your site.
Enclose
Work areas are sealed in controlled enclosures under negative pressure so no fibre escapes.

Operatives in full RPE strip and double-bag material, decontaminating as they go.
Clear
An independent analyst runs the 4-stage clearance and issues the certificate of reoccupation. Waste leaves on consignment notes.
Asbestos Removal in Hedgerley: FAQs
Can I dispose of a few broken asbestos-cement sheets at the local tip?
Some household waste recycling centres accept small quantities of bonded asbestos by prior booking only, and it must be double-wrapped and sealed - it can never go in a general skip. If there is any real quantity, or the sheets are broken, it is safer and cheaper overall to have a contractor remove and consign it properly.
How long does a survey of a farmyard take?
A management survey of a small farmyard with three or four buildings is usually a half-day site visit with the report within a few working days. If the buildings are being converted rather than simply managed, the intrusive refurbishment and demolition survey will take longer and cost more because ceilings, linings and services have to be opened up.
Do I need a licensed contractor to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material. High-risk items like pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and asbestos insulating board need an HSE-licensed contractor. Lower-risk items such as cement sheets and floor tiles can be removed under non-licensed controls. We are licensed for both and will tell you which applies.
Can I stay in the property during removal?
For small non-licensed jobs, often yes, with the work area sealed off. For licensed removal inside the home we usually recommend vacating the affected zone until the clearance certificate is issued. We plan the safest sequence around you.
