Asbestos removal for Ivychurch properties
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is generally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. Typical materials include gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and flue pipes, and typical jobs are garage roof sheets and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
Rural removal near Ivychurch can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Your options compared
Should it come out? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Covering London and the South East
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Houses, flats and business premises

Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
How we price asbestos removal
We base our quote on:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The survey scope
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Disposal costs
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Ivychurch
How far is Ivychurch from London?
Ivychurch is about 54 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Ivychurch and the area around Appledore (Kent) station?
Yes. Appledore (Kent) station is about 3.4 miles north-west of Ivychurch, and we cover both.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
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.
Keeping things safe:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Book the replacement before removal
- Share any survey or test results
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Avoid these
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.

Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start. In winter, the light goes in Ivychurch by about 3:50pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
