About our asbestos removal in Iping
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 jobs include debris left from a previous job and old sheds and coal bunkers, involving floor tiles, textured coatings and cement roof sheets.
In Iping, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

FAQs for Iping
How far is Iping from London?
We cover Iping, about 46 miles from central London.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What’s included, and what is not
Before booking, note that:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal

Which option is right?
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Make sure we can get to the area
