Asbestos removal for Egerton Forstal properties
Removal isn’t always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s old cold water tanks and Artex ceilings before renovation, we deal with gutters and downpipes, cement soffits and textured coatings.
In places like Egerton Forstal, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Egerton Forstal: your questions answered
How far is Egerton Forstal from London?
We cover Egerton Forstal, about 41 miles from central London.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.

Not always. Cement and textured coatings are normally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.

How do I get a quote?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
