Common reasons for removal jobs in Godstone
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
In older properties, we often see:
- Textured coatings
- Loft water tanks
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Debris left from a previous job
For non-domestic buildings like Godstone Village School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
Once we are done:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell us about any previous survey

Avoid these
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
The process
As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, ready to go to a permitted site. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. In winter, the light goes in Godstone by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
