About our asbestos removal in Crawley
Removal isn’t always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. Typical jobs include debris left from a previous job and materials found mid-project, including textured coatings, gutters and downpipes and water tanks.
In Crawley, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Crawley
Do you work near Winchester station?

How far is Crawley from London?
We cover Crawley, about 62 miles from central London.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Crawley?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
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.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Step by step

- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can

Options to consider in Crawley
Should it come out? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is usually right. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why us?
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

After the job
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
Keeping things safe:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Keep children and pets away on the day
What to avoid
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
How we price asbestos removal
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- How many samples are needed
- Travel and parking
- Material and condition
- Disposal costs
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Street parking nearby
- Damaged areas
- An overall view
- A rough size or measurement
