About our asbestos removal in Crabtree
Every removal job in Crabtree is planned first: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. Typical materials include cement roof sheets, water tanks and cement soffits, and people usually contact us about vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and textured coatings.
In towns and villages like Crabtree, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

What affects the price in Crabtree
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- Parking and access charges
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The survey scope
- How much waste there is
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Street parking nearby
- An idea of size
- Visible markings
- Damaged areas
Send us the address in Crabtree, a description and some photos: ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page, and we will reply with a quote.
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

The scope of asbestos removal
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks
- Artex and textured coatings
- Bitumen roof felt
- Flue pipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Panels and boards
- Soffits (cement)
Which option is right?
Should it come out? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is typically right. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why choose us
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- No removal until we know what it is
- Clear advice on your options
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond

Afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Things not to do
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
Water tanks and flues

FAQs for Crabtree
Do you cover Crabtree and the area around Horsham station?
Yes, we cover Crabtree and the area towards Horsham station, about 4.6 miles north-west.
Do you cover Crabtree from London?
Crabtree is about 34 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
