How asbestos removal works in Crawley
Found asbestos during building work in Crawley? Work should stop there and people kept out. We will identify it and plan what happens next. Typical jobs include outbuildings with cement roofs and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, involving cement soffits, textured coatings and floor tiles.
In a village like Crawley, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

How we work
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, ready to go to a permitted site. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on. Outdoor removal in Crawley is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:30pm.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
Getting ready
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere

Helpful guides
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Crawley questions
Is asbestos common in Crawley homes?
If your home in Crawley was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Finstock station?
Yes, we cover Crawley and the area towards Finstock station, about 3.6 miles north-east.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
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.
Do you work in Crawley?
Yes. We cover Crawley and the surrounding area as part of Oxfordshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.

We cover 443 places across Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our area stretches from Crawley to Oxford (12 miles away).

Common reasons for removal jobs in Crawley
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Oxfordshire may contain it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Textured coatings
- Cement flues and gutters
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Garage roofs and whole garages
For non-domestic buildings like Hailey Church of England Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What paperwork you get
- Whether the job needs notifying
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
What happens next
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Book the replacement before removal
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
What to avoid
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
What affects the price in Crawley
Quotes vary because of:
- Travel and parking
- The type of material and its condition
- Access to the area
- How much there is
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Visible markings
