Found asbestos during building work in Farlington? Stop work in that area and keep people away. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. We often deal with cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and water tanks, and people normally contact us about old waste on site and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.
In a smaller place like Farlington, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Farlington: your questions answered
Could my house in Farlington 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.
How far is Farlington from London?
We cover Farlington, about 61 miles from central London.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.

How we price asbestos removal
Our quotes take into account:
- The category of work
- Access to the area
- What the material is and its state
- How much waste there is
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Damaged areas
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An overall view
- The parking area
You’ll get a written quote. Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that seems too low: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why choose us
- Reports and results you can share
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Clear written quotes
Take a look at our prices page or published price ranges.
Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
To avoid problems in future:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let us know where we can park
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Don’ts
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Materials, one by one
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, normally tightly bound.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
