Asbestos removal for East Farleigh properties
You do not always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. Common materials are gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and cement roof sheets, and people usually contact us about garage roof sheets and old cold water tanks.
In East Farleigh, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Why people call us in East Farleigh

Common situations in older properties include:

Duty holders and landlords in East Farleigh
If your business premises in East Farleigh were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in East Farleigh, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.

Your questions about asbestos removal in East Farleigh
Do you come out to small villages like East Farleigh?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in East Farleigh contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
What we do and do not cover
A few things to be aware of:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
