Asbestos in Church Hill
Church Hill is one of the 1970s New Town neighbourhoods on the east side of Redditch. Most homes were built as part of a planned estate, many with a garage built to the same plan. That matters because the original garage roofs on estates of this age are often corrugated cement sheets that have now been in place for fifty years, usually mossy, sometimes cracked.
What is typical here
Original single garages with cement sheet roofs, flat or low-pitch porch roofs, and textured ceilings in 1970s houses.
Church Hill is part of the Redditch urban 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 Church Hill
- 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 Church Hill is Redditch Borough 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 Church Hill.
Our whole street has the same garages. Can we get them done together?
Yes, and it often helps. When neighbours book the same week the contractor can share set-up time and the skip run. Send photos from each household and mention that the garages are on the same street.
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.
