Asbestos removal in Crowhurst
Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We will explain what applies to your job in Crowhurst. Typical jobs include old floor tiles and black adhesive and garage roofs and whole garages, involving water tanks, floor tiles and textured coatings.
In a village like Crowhurst, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Can I do it myself?
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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
What happens next
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.

Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
The process
If we find more than expected, or something different, we stop and talk to you, rather than carrying on regardless. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing, so there’s no confusion. We plan outdoor jobs in Crowhurst to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:15pm.

- The material is removed safely

What affects the price in Crowhurst
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The type of material and its condition
- The quantity or area
- Waste quantity and disposal
Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- How we’d reach it

- A close-up from a safe distance
- Cracks or breaks

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
For managing agents and freeholders in Crowhurst, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Crowhurst
Do you come out to small villages like Crowhurst?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Crowhurst have asbestos?
Any home in Crowhurst built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Bitumen roof felt
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Flue pipes
- Panels and boards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks
- Soffits (cement)
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
Common reasons for removal jobs in Crowhurst
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
In older properties, we often see:
- Loft water tanks
- Artex before plastering
- Cement flues and gutters
- Asbestos garages
In older properties in Crowhurst, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
Questions to ask before booking
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- How fibres will be kept down
- VAT, clearly stated
