Asbestos removal for Marlpit Hill properties
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. From garage roof sheets and floor tiles before a new floor, we cover cement soffits, water tanks and gutters and downpipes and more.
In a village like Marlpit Hill, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Marlpit Hill
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Marlpit Hill from London?
We cover Marlpit Hill, about 21 miles from central London.
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, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.

It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
