How asbestos removal works in Five Oaks
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will tell you honestly when that’s the case. Whether it’s vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and Artex ceilings before renovation, we cover gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and cement roof sheets.
In areas like Five Oaks, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Why people call us in Five Oaks
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Loft water tanks
- Asbestos found during building work
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
At a school such as The Weald School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Before you book anyone
- What is not included
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
How it works
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing. Outdoor removal in Five Oaks is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Mention any parking restrictions

What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
