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.

Asbestos Testing & Air Monitoring 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.
How quickly can I find out if a material contains asbestos?
Standard bulk sample analysis is returned within 24 hours, and same-day analysis is available for urgent cases. You receive a UKAS-accredited certificate stating the fibre type, or confirming none is present.
What is an air test for and when do I need one?
Air testing measures the concentration of asbestos fibres in the air. It is used for reassurance after disturbance, for background monitoring, and for the mandatory clearance test after licensed removal before a space can be reoccupied.
