About our asbestos removal in Limpsfield
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. People often contact us about asbestos found during building work and cement water tanks in lofts, including cement roof sheets, textured coatings and cement soffits.
Rural removal near Limpsfield can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Limpsfield: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Limpsfield?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Limpsfield have asbestos?
Any home in Limpsfield built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- The category of work
- Parking and access charges
- How much waste there is
- What the material is and its state
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Photos that help
Photo tips:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Approximate dimensions
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
After the job
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
Once we’re done:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell us about any previous survey
- File the consignment note
What to avoid
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Where asbestos turns up
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Garage roof sheets
- Old waste on site
- Textured coatings
- Cement flues and gutters
In older properties in Limpsfield, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

- Any exclusions
- The documents you’ll receive
