Asbestos removal for Maresfield
Asbestos removal for Maresfield properties
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. From old waste on site and loft water tanks, we deal with flue pipes, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes and more.
In areas like Maresfield, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Maresfield
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Maresfield from London?
Maresfield is about 36 miles from central London, well within our area.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Maresfield?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can normally stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Materials we deal with
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
For businesses and landlords in Maresfield
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you run a business from older premises in Maresfield, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
