What it might be made of
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, generally tightly bound.
Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Avoid these
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- How much waste there is
- The category of work
- What the material is and its state
- The size of the job
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Approximate dimensions
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Each job is priced individually. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form to get started.
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that seems too low: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Alfold Bars
How far is Alfold Bars from London?
Alfold Bars is about 34 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Alfold Bars have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Alfold Bars may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

- Asbestos cement sheets
- Panels and boards
- Soffits (cement)
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Flue pipes

Doing it yourself?
