Asbestos in Hanley
Hanley is the commercial heart of the city, with shops, offices and older buildings above them. Enquiries here tend to come from landlords and business owners as well as homeowners in the streets around the centre.
What is typical here
Flat and low-pitch roofs on older commercial buildings, rear extensions, boiler rooms and roof-light surrounds, plus garages in the residential streets nearby.
Hanley is one of the six towns of Stoke-on-Trent. 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 Hanley
- Garage roofs: A single garage with its original corrugated roof is the most common asbestos job we are sent from the Stoke-on-Trent 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: Stoke-on-Trent has a long industrial history, from potteries to engineering works, and many of its older units and sheds still carry cement sheet roofs and wall cladding.
- Agricultural: Farms around Biddulph, Leek, Audley and the Moorlands edge 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 Hanley is Stoke-on-Trent City 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.

Send two or three photos, the rough size and your postcode through the form on this page. A contractor who covers Hanley will review them and reply with a written quote, free and with no obligation.

Questions from Hanley.
I own a shop with a flat rear roof. Where do I start?
Send photos of the roof and any plant or pipework on it. If the building is non-domestic you also have a legal duty to manage asbestos, and a survey is often the sensible first step.
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 Stoke-on-Trent.
