About our asbestos removal in Bilting
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Whether it’s flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and garage roof sheets, we deal with cement roof sheets, floor tiles and cement soffits and more.
In a village like Bilting, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Why people call us in Bilting
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
These come up again and again:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Old flues
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Asbestos found during building work
In older buildings across Bilting, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.

If you run a business from older premises in Bilting, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
