About our asbestos removal in Alfold
In homes, in Alfold as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is usually non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. We often deal with flue pipes, floor tiles and gutters and downpipes, and people usually contact us about old sheds and coal bunkers and floor tiles before a new floor.
In Alfold, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Alfold: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Alfold?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Alfold homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Alfold may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Step by step
Our team uses disposable coveralls and respiratory protection, and keep everyone else out of the work area. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions. Outdoor removal in Alfold is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:20pm in June.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

What we deal with in Alfold
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Old waste on site
- Cement flues and gutters
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Cement water tanks in lofts
Older buildings in Alfold, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
