About our asbestos removal in Mowshurst
If your builder has found suspect material in Mowshurst, stop work in that area and keep people away. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. Typical jobs include vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and loft water tanks, involving flue pipes, floor tiles and textured coatings.
In a village like Mowshurst, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

FAQs for Mowshurst
Do you cover Mowshurst from London?
We cover Mowshurst, about 21 miles from central London.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Options to consider in Mowshurst
