Managing & Disposing of Asbestos in Warwickshire

The duty to manage asbestos

The duty to manage asbestos applies to non-domestic premises, and to the common or shared parts of residential blocks — not to individual private homes. Under Regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, The dutyholder (whoever is responsible for maintenance and repair) must find or presume the asbestos, assess and record its condition, plan how to manage it, and tell anyone who could disturb it. This applies to commercial premises, rented housing and public buildings across Warwickshire.

Disposing of asbestos in Warwickshire

Warwickshire accepts small amounts of household asbestos at four recycling centres — Judkins, Hunters Lane, Lower House Farm and Princes Drive — up to 3 sheets (or equivalent) per household per month, no more than 20cm high, 150cm wide and 180cm long. It must be double-wrapped in heavy-gauge polythene, sealed with strong tape and labelled 'asbestos waste', or it will be refused, and you must report to the weighbridge or a staff member on arrival. Larger amounts need a licensed contractor. (council source, verified 2026-07-15)

Asbestos waste is classed as hazardous (special) waste. Whoever handles it must ensure it is:

  • It cannot go in a normal skip or household bin.
  • It must be double-wrapped in heavy-duty polythene, sealed and clearly labelled as asbestos.
  • It must be transported by a registered waste carrier to a permitted (licensed) facility.
  • The movement must be documented with a hazardous-waste consignment note, kept for three years.

Asbestos removed by a contractor is business waste and cannot go through a household waste route — it must go to a permitted facility with a consignment note. Household disposal rules vary between councils across Warwickshire — when we carry out work, disposal to a permitted facility is handled for you. For the rules where you live, see our asbestos disposal by council lookup, or check typical prices in the UK asbestos removal cost report.

How do I dispose of asbestos in Warwickshire?
Warwickshire accepts small amounts of household asbestos at four recycling centres — Judkins, Hunters Lane, Lower House Farm and Princes Drive — up to 3 sheets (or equivalent) per household per month, no more than 20cm high, 150cm wide and 180cm long. It must be double-wrapped in heavy-gauge polythene, sealed with strong tape and labelled 'asbestos waste', or it will be refused, and you must report to the weighbridge or a staff member on arrival. Larger amounts need a licensed contractor. Asbestos removed by a contractor is business waste and cannot go through a household waste route — it must go to a permitted facility with a consignment note.
Do I need a licensed contractor to remove asbestos in Warwickshire?
It depends on the material. Licensed (licensable) work (such as sprayed asbestos coatings (limpet) and pipe and thermal lagging / insulation) must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Lower-risk, firmly bonded materials such as asbestos cement in good condition are non-licensed work but must still be handled safely. We make sure the right type of contractor is arranged for your job.
Does my property contain asbestos?
If your property was built or refurbished before the year 2000, it may well contain asbestos, which wasn't fully banned in the UK until 1999. It commonly turns up in roofing sheets, textured coatings like Artex, floor tiles, pipe lagging and insulation board. The only reliable way to know for certain is a professional survey.
Is disturbed asbestos dangerous?
Yes. Asbestos is generally low-risk while it's intact and left alone, but disturbing it is where the danger lies. Drilling, cutting, sanding or breaking it releases microscopic fibres that are harmful when breathed in. If you think a material contains asbestos, leave it be and arrange a professional survey or removal before any work starts.
How much does asbestos removal cost?
There's no single flat rate. The cost depends on the type of material, how much there is, where it sits and how easy it is to reach, so a small garage roof is very different from licensed insulation removal. That's why we give you a clear, no-obligation quote before any work starts, once the material has been assessed.
Which areas of the UK do you cover?
We cover towns and cities right across the UK, from major cities like London, Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds to the smaller towns in between. Enter your town or postcode when you get in touch and we'll arrange a free, no-obligation quote in your area.
