About our asbestos removal in Coldharbour
If your builder has found suspect material in Coldharbour, work should stop there and people kept out. We will identify it and plan what happens next. Typical jobs include cement water tanks in lofts and old waste on site, involving cement roof sheets, water tanks and floor tiles.
Rural removal near Coldharbour can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Your options compared
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why people choose us
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

Your questions about asbestos removal in Coldharbour
Do you cover small places like Coldharbour?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Hildenborough station?
Yes. Hildenborough station is about 1.6 miles south-west of Coldharbour, and we cover both.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
