Asbestos in Alvechurch
Alvechurch is a village to the north of Redditch that grew along the canal and main road, with historic houses, interwar housing and later estates side by side. Gardens in this part of Worcestershire tend to be well-used, with sheds, workshops and garages that have been in service for decades. Canal-side yards and small commercial plots also appear in enquiries from the village.
What is typical here
Garage roofs, garden workshops, canal-side yards and small plots with older cement sheet buildings.
Alvechurch is on the Worcestershire side of the Redditch area. If your building was put up or extended before about 2000, it is worth getting a view on any roof sheets, boards, ceilings or lagging before they are drilled, scrubbed or knocked down.
What we can help with in Alvechurch
- Garage roofs: A single garage with its original corrugated roof is the most common asbestos job we are sent from the Redditch area.
- Homes: Homes built before 2000 can contain asbestos in several places, and not all of them are roofs.
- Commercial: Owners and managers of non-domestic buildings have a legal duty to manage asbestos.
- Industrial: Redditch has a long industrial history, and many of its older units and sheds still carry cement sheet roofs and wall cladding.
- Agricultural: Farms around Redditch, Feckenham, Inkberrow and the Arrow valley still have plenty of mid-century barns and sheds with cement sheet roofs.
- Schools & public: Many schools, halls and public buildings were built or extended in the decades when asbestos materials were common.
- Surveys & testing: If you are not sure what a material is, or you are about to start building work, a survey tells you what you have.
- Artex & ceilings: Many homes decorated before 2000 have textured ceilings.
Council, waste and paperwork
The relevant council for Alvechurch is Bromsgrove District Council, and your county council runs the household recycling centres. Many of these do not accept asbestos, or accept only small, double-wrapped amounts under strict conditions, so check before you take anything yourself. A registered contractor takes wrapped waste to a permitted site and gives you a waste transfer note, which is the safer route.

Questions from Alvechurch.
I use my old garage as a workshop. Does that change anything?
If you work in it regularly, the case for dealing with a deteriorating asbestos roof is stronger, because you spend time under it. Tell the contractor about the use of the space so access, power and removal of contents are planned.
Do you do the work yourselves?
No. We are an introduction service. We pass your photos and details to an independent local contractor, who provides the quote, does the work and issues the waste paperwork.
Is the quote really free?
Yes. Sending your details costs nothing and carries no obligation. The contractor's written quote is what counts, and you can say no.
What should I send?
Two or three clear photos, the rough size of the roof or area, the age of the building if you know it, and a postcode. A phone photo is fine.
What happens to the asbestos waste?
It is wrapped, labelled and taken by a registered carrier to a site permitted to accept it. You should receive a waste transfer note.
Can I get a new roof fitted at the same time?
Usually yes. Ask for removal and replacement to be priced separately so you can compare them.
Do you cover farms, businesses and schools?
Yes. We introduce contractors who work on domestic, commercial, industrial, agricultural and public buildings around Redditch.
Other places we cover.
