How asbestos removal works in Ifield
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed, before anyone starts. From broken sheets in gardens and garage roofs and whole garages, we cover cement soffits, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes.
Properties in areas like Ifield with larger plots may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. We only recommend work that is needed.

Ifield questions
Do you cover Ifield from London?
We cover Ifield, about 26 miles from central London.
Do you work near Ifield station?
Yes. Ifield station is about 0.6 miles south-west of Ifield, and we cover both.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
For managing agents and freeholders in Ifield, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Old cold water tanks
- Materials found mid-project
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
Landlords near Ifield station often time removal for when a property is empty.
What your quote should include
- What isn’t included
- VAT, clearly stated
- How fibres will be kept down
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
After the job
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
A few practical points:
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep children and pets away on the day
What to avoid
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
The process
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and nobody else enters the work area. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down. In winter, the light goes in Ifield by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions
