About our asbestos removal in Baldslow
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. Typical jobs include old cold water tanks and materials found mid-project, involving water tanks, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes.
In Baldslow, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Which option is right?
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Good to know
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal

What it costs
We base our quote on:

- Waste quantity and disposal
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How many samples are needed
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The parking area
- How we’d reach it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Baldslow: your questions answered
Do you cover Baldslow from London?
Baldslow is about 51 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Baldslow have asbestos?
If your home in Baldslow was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Baldslow?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can usually stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Things not to do
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
