Serving Holyhead
Serving Homeowners and Businesses Across Holyhead
Holyhead is not just our main service area, it is our home. As a port town with a long maritime and industrial history, Holyhead has a property stock that ranges from Victorian terraces near the harbour to post-war council housing and modern estates on the edges of town. This variety means that asbestos-containing materials can turn up almost anywhere, from the ferry terminal area and Salt Island to residential streets like those around Kingsland and Holborn. Because we are based in the town, we know its buildings and its people well, and that local knowledge shapes every survey we carry out.
Being Anglesey's largest town, Holyhead also acts as a natural base for us to reach the rest of the island quickly, including Valley, Llanfachraeth, and Trearddur Bay just along the coast. The exposed position of Holyhead, sitting on Holy Island at the westernmost tip of Anglesey, means buildings here take a battering from salt-laden winds coming straight off the Irish Sea. This accelerates the weathering of asbestos cement products such as roofing sheets on garages, sheds, and outbuildings. When fixings corrode in this environment, sheets can become loose or cracked, increasing the risk of fibre release during storms or routine maintenance.
Many of Holyhead's older terraced houses underwent renovation during the mid-to-late twentieth century, often introducing asbestos in the form of Artex ceilings, vinyl floor tiles, and insulating boards around fireplaces. We regularly carry out refurbishment surveys for homeowners in these streets before they begin kitchen or bathroom upgrades. Commercial clients around the port, the retail park, and the town centre also rely on us to help manage asbestos risk in older industrial and retail units, many of which date back to the harbour's expansion in earlier decades.
Our presence in Holyhead means we are often just minutes away from clients in the town itself, and a short drive from Rhosneigr, Llangefni, or Amlwch when work takes us further across the island. This proximity makes site visits simple to arrange and allows us to respond promptly to local enquiries. We understand the planning requirements relevant to the area and the types of building materials commonly used in North Welsh construction, which makes us a trusted choice for local landlords, builders, and homeowners. On completion of smaller projects we always provide a statement of cleanliness, giving clients the documentation they need for peace of mind or for a property sale.
Holyhead is a close-knit community, and reputation matters here more than almost anywhere else. We have built Evergreen Group (Asbestos) Ltd on honesty, transparency, and hard work, and we don't believe in scare tactics or confusing jargon. Whether it is a small sample from a garage roof on Newry Street or a full refurbishment survey ahead of a larger renovation, every project receives the same professional rigour and care that we would want for our own homes.

Local issues
Common Asbestos Challenges in Holyhead Properties
Asbestos was used extensively in UK building materials until 1999, and its legacy remains in many homes and commercial buildings across Holyhead. Because of the town's exposed coastal position, certain issues are more common here than elsewhere.
Severely Weathered Asbestos Cement
The high winds and salt air around the port and along the Holy Island coast can cause asbestos cement roofing and cladding on garages and sheds to become brittle and friable over time.
Artex and Textured Coatings in Terraced Homes
Many of Holyhead's terraced houses underwent interior renovations where decorative coatings were used. These frequently contain chrysotile asbestos and require professional removal before any ceiling work.
Hidden Floor Tiles and Bitumen Adhesive
Thermoplastic floor tiles and the black bitumen adhesive used to fix them, often found under modern carpets in older Holyhead homes, are a very common source of asbestos.
Port and Industrial Building Legacy
Older commercial and industrial buildings around the harbour and port often feature asbestos insulating board and cement products that need careful management during refurbishment.
Loft Tanks and Flue Pipes
Loft spaces in older Holyhead properties often contain asbestos cement water tanks and flue pipes. These are often forgotten until a plumbing upgrade or loft conversion begins.
Soffit Boards and External Cladding
Many post-war houses in Holyhead used asbestos insulating board or cement for soffits and external cladding, which can be easily disturbed during window replacements or painting.

Yes, we are based in the town itself. This gives us a unique advantage in understanding the property types and construction history of Holyhead, and allows us to provide a responsive service to our neighbours across the island.
How much does an asbestos survey cost in Holyhead?
Every property is unique, so there is no flat fee. The cost depends on the age, size, and location of the building. Get in touch for a quote tailored to your property.
Do you offer emergency call-outs in Holyhead?
We offer out-of-hours sampling and remediation for emergency asbestos disturbances. If you have an urgent concern, please get in touch to discuss timings.
Can you remove asbestos garage roofs in Holyhead?
Yes, we frequently remove asbestos cement garage and shed roofs across the town. We also offer a roofing service through our trusted subcontractors to install a safe, modern replacement once the asbestos has been safely cleared.
What insurance do you hold?
Evergreen Group (Asbestos) Ltd holds public liability insurance up to £2 million.
What training and qualifications do you hold?
Evergreen Group and all operatives are UKATA trained for non-licensed removal work, face-fit tested, and medically assessed. Our surveyors are P402 qualified, which is the industry standard for surveying and sampling.
How do you dispose of the asbestos you remove?
We are a registered waste carrier. All asbestos waste we remove is double-bagged or wrapped and then transported to a licensed hazardous waste facility. We handle all the legal documentation required for the safe disposal of your waste.
Will I receive a certificate when the removal is finished?
For smaller non-licensed jobs, we provide a statement of cleanliness. If the project requires air testing or clearance certification, we arrange for an independent third-party analytical contractor to perform the testing and provide the necessary certificates.
Can you help with plastering after an Artex ceiling is removed?
Absolutely. We offer professional plastering services through our trusted subcontractors. Once we have safely removed the asbestos-containing textured coating, they can make your ceilings and walls good, ready for decorating.
How long does it take to get my asbestos survey results?
The site visit time depends on the size of the property, but we aim for efficiency. Once samples are taken, they are sent to an independent lab. We usually have the final written report back to you shortly after the lab results are confirmed.
Do you work with commercial businesses in Holyhead?
Yes, while homeowners are our main market, we also work with landlords, small businesses, and commercial property managers in Holyhead to help them meet their legal duty to manage asbestos risk.
Is asbestos always dangerous if found in a home?
Not necessarily. If asbestos-containing materials are in good condition and left undisturbed, they often pose a low risk. The danger arises when the material is damaged or disturbed, releasing fibres. Our surveys help you understand the risk level of each material.
