Commercial asbestos removal in Redditch
Owners and managers of non-domestic buildings have a legal duty to manage asbestos. That starts with knowing where it is. We help commercial owners, landlords and tenants get a survey, a plan and removal from an independent local contractor.
The duty to manage
If you own or are responsible for the maintenance of a non-domestic building, you are the duty holder under the Control of Asbestos Regulations. In practice that means finding out whether asbestos is present, assessing its condition, keeping a register and plan, and making sure anyone who might disturb it, such as maintenance staff or contractors, knows where it is.
Landlords and agents who manage shared buildings and parts of buildings, including flats above shops, are also covered. If you are not sure whether the duty falls on you or the landlord, check the lease and ask for any existing asbestos register.
Removal without stopping the business
Commercial removal is about planning as much as technique. Roofs and ceilings can be dealt with in phases, out of hours or when a unit is empty between tenants. Exclusion zones, signage, air checks and clearance procedures protect staff and customers. The contractor will agree a method statement, working hours and access arrangements with you before work starts.
Tell us up front whether the building is occupied, what time of day work is possible and whether stock or equipment needs to be moved. These details change the plan and the price.
Before a sale, lease or refurbishment
Buyers, tenants and funders increasingly ask for an asbestos register or survey before they commit. If you are about to sell, let or fit out a unit, getting the survey done early means problems show up before negotiations, not during them. If removal is needed, it can often be timed between tenants.
Who does the work, and what the law expects
Halden Asbestos Removal is an introduction service. We pass your photos and details to an independent contractor, who provides the quote, carries out the work and holds the insurance and any licences required. Most asbestos cement work is non-licensed, but it is still regulated: workers need training, the right equipment and a lawful route for the waste. Some non-licensed work must also be notified to the enforcing authority, and other materials such as insulation board or lagging can need a licensed contractor. The contractor will tell you which applies to your job.
What to send us
- Two or three clear photos of the roof, ceiling or material
- The rough size and what it is attached to
- The age of the building if you know it
- Access: gates, steps, side passages and where a skip could go

Good to know.
Do small shops and offices need an asbestos register?
If the building was built before 2000 and you are responsible for it, you should check. A register is the normal way to show the duty has been taken seriously.
Can work be done at night or weekends?
Often yes. Say what hours are possible and the contractor will price accordingly.
Is an old survey still valid?
Not necessarily. Condition changes and registers need reviewing. Send the old report and the contractor will say whether an update is needed.
Who pays, landlord or tenant?
The lease decides. Ask for it to be checked before arranging work.
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.
Where we cover.
Redditch, its neighbourhoods and the towns and villages around it.
Send a photo and get a written quote.
A local contractor reviews your photos and details, then replies with a written quote. Free to ask, no obligation.
