Asbestos removal in Mayfield
About our asbestos removal in Mayfield
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, with a consignment note for your records. Typical jobs include garage roofs and whole garages and old sheds and coal bunkers, including cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes.
In a village like Mayfield, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Mayfield: your questions answered
Do you work on properties 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.
Is asbestos common in Mayfield homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Mayfield?
We do: our area includes Mayfield and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why choose us
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- No removal until we know what it is
- Records for your files
- Waste paperwork for every removal

Typical removal jobs in Mayfield
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, although sound material can often stay.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Old cold water tanks
- Garage roof sheets
- Old waste on site
In older buildings across Mayfield, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.
