Asbestos Removal in Hereford
For safe, compliant asbestos removal in Hereford, our HSE-licensed and non-licensed teams handle everything from a single garage roof to a full strip-out across West Midlands.
Asbestos in Hereford
Hereford is a cathedral city on the Welsh border with a cider- and food-processing heritage, Georgian and Victorian housing, and post-war estates. Its industrial units, the cider works and mid-century housing used asbestos cement, lagging and AIB, while terraced and interwar homes commonly hold artex and asbestos cement garages and outbuildings.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Hereford properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

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.
Remove
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 Hereford: FAQs
Do Hereford's food and cider works contain asbestos?
Frequently — industrial and processing buildings around Hereford often retain asbestos cement roofs, lagging and AIB. Any conversion or demolition requires a refurbishment and demolition survey first, which we carry out across the area.
What does an asbestos survey cost in Hereford?
A management survey for a typical home starts from around £200, including sampling and a written register, with single samples from £50 to £80. We confirm pricing before attending.
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.
