Asbestos removal for Ewhurst
About our asbestos removal in Ewhurst
Asbestos removal in Ewhurst covers homes, rental property and workplaces: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Common materials are cement soffits, water tanks and textured coatings, and typical jobs are flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and loft water tanks.
In towns and villages like Ewhurst, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

What we deal with in Ewhurst
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
These are some of the things we deal with in Ewhurst:
- Old waste on site
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Old cold water tanks
For non-domestic buildings like Ewhurst CofE Aided Infant School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
What your quote should include
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know where we can park
Don’ts
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Material and condition
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Access to the area
- How much there is
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Sending photos
For a quick quote, include:
- A rough size or measurement
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Damaged areas
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it

Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.

What’s in and what’s out:
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date

Helpful guides
Your questions about asbestos removal in Ewhurst
Do you work near Ockley station?
Yes. Ockley station is about 4.5 miles east of Ewhurst, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Ewhurst?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
