About our asbestos removal in Freeland
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical materials include floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes, and people normally contact us about debris left from a previous job and finds during refurbishment.
In a village like Freeland, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We only recommend work that is needed.

Questions from Freeland
Do you cover Freeland from London?
We cover Freeland, about 60 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Freeland?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Freeland?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Freeland
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
In older properties, we often see:
- Old cold water tanks
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Cement flues and gutters
For non-domestic buildings like Freeland Church of England Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- The documents you will receive
- Any exclusions
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

Helpful guides
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is usually well bound.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Looking after things afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Once we are done:
- Let us know where we can park
- File the consignment note
- Share any survey or test results
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
What to avoid
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
