Licensed asbestos removal across Hertford — the historic county town with a housing mix spanning Georgian centre, Victorian expansion, and 20th-century estates on the periphery. HSE-compliant, fully insured, fixed-price quotes for SG13 and SG14.
Hertford is one of the oldest market towns in southern England — the medieval and Georgian core, gathered around the castle and the meeting point of the rivers Lea, Beane and Mimram, is preserved by significant conservation area coverage. Property in the centre is dominated by Georgian and early-Victorian townhouses, many Grade II listed, with later infill running back from the high street.
The Victorian railway-era expansion produced a ring of late-19th-century terraces around the centre — particularly between Hertford East station and Bengeo, and along the Ware Road towards Ware. Bengeo itself is a substantial Victorian and Edwardian suburb on the hill north of the centre.
The 20th-century expansion is concentrated on the southern and western fringes — Sele, Foxholes, Pinehurst and Hertford Heath all developed substantially through the 1950s-70s, with the typical post-war housing materials of the era. Pinehurst was developed largely in the 1960s-70s. More recent development continues on the southern fringe along the A414 corridor.
Hertford's mixed housing stock produces a varied asbestos profile. The Georgian and Victorian centre is generally older than the asbestos era, but most properties have had at least some 20th-century works (re-roofing, central heating, new kitchens) that may have introduced asbestos — typically cement on later garage or outbuilding additions, and occasionally AIB around boilers installed mid-century.
The Victorian terraces around Bengeo and the Ware Road regularly contain asbestos cement water tanks in lofts and textured coatings on ceilings from later refurbishments. The 20th-century estates at Sele, Foxholes, Pinehurst and Hertford Heath have the full post-war asbestos profile — garage roofs, AIB, water tanks, floor tiles, Artex coatings.
A particular feature of Hertford is the prevalence of detached and semi-detached homes with substantial garages on the suburban fringes — many of these have asbestos cement roofs now reaching the end of their service life. Garage roof removal is the single most common Hertford job we attend.

Yes. Hertford itself (SG13, SG14), plus Bengeo, Brickendon, Hertford Heath, Stapleford, Waterford, Bayford and the outlying SG14 villages are all standard coverage. Ware (SG12) is also covered as part of our normal route.
Most Hertford jobs are scheduled within the same week. From our base we typically reach SG13/SG14 within 50–55 minutes. Same-day commercial work by arrangement.
Not for the asbestos work itself. Removal is governed by CAR 2012 and proceeds normally. Where listing affects what we put back (replacement roofing materials on a listed outbuilding, for instance), we coordinate with East Herts conservation officers — no additional cost to you for that liaison.
Single garage roof in SG13/SG14 is £350–£550 + VAT. Asbestos water tank from a loft similar. AIB and other licensed removals quoted bespoke.
Yes — pre-refurbishment surveys and removal for commercial properties in Hertford centre are part of our regular work, with attention paid to access, out-of-hours scheduling where required, and coordination with neighbouring businesses where the work might affect them.
