Asbestos removal in Ashton Green
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical jobs include loft water tanks and cement flues and gutters, including floor tiles, cement soffits and cement roof sheets.
In Ashton Green, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Questions from Ashton Green
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How far is Ashton Green from London?
Ashton Green is about 43 miles from central London, well within our area.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
The process
If we find more than expected, or something different, we stop and talk to you, rather than carrying on regardless. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. We plan outdoor jobs in Ashton Green to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:15pm.

Where asbestos turns up
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Materials found mid-project
- Debris left from a previous job
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
If you let property near Glynde station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get
- What category of work it is
- How fibres will be kept down
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
Which option is right?
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why us?
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Legal disposal, with paperwork

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
