Asbestos removal for Burlow properties
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. People often contact us about sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and garage roofs and whole garages, including cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and water tanks.
In Burlow, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Burlow questions
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How far is Burlow from London?
We cover Burlow, about 42 miles from central London.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.

Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area, and we talk you through what was done. While we work, the area stays out of bounds. We plan outdoor jobs in Burlow to finish before dark: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:15pm in June.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Burlow
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Typical jobs in Burlow include:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Loft water tanks
- Textured coatings
In older buildings across Burlow, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the job needs notifying
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What is not included
- VAT, clearly stated
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
After the job
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- File the consignment note
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Send photos of the material and the access
Don’ts
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
