Asbestos removal near Bunce Common
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 garage roofs and whole garages and outbuildings with cement roofs, we cover flue pipes, textured coatings and floor tiles.
In a village like Bunce Common, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Bunce Common: your questions answered
How far is Bunce Common from London?
We cover Bunce Common, about 22 miles from central London.
Do you cover Bunce Common and the area around Betchworth station?
Yes, we cover Bunce Common and the area towards Betchworth station, about 2.7 miles north.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
