Asbestos removal for Densole
Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
If your business premises in Densole were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Asbestos removal for Densole properties
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. From broken sheets in gardens and garage roof sheets, we cover floor tiles, cement roof sheets and water tanks and more.
In towns and villages like Densole, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Common questions in Densole
How far is Densole from London?
We cover Densole, about 60 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Densole homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Densole may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Densole?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.

A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is typically well bound.
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
How we price asbestos removal
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- The size of the job
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How many samples are needed
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Photos that help
Helpful photos:
- The access route
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The parking area
- Visible markings
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form to get started.
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Why us?
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Covering London and the South East
See how we quote or the cost guide.
Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
After we have finished:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell us about parking and access
What to avoid
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
