Asbestos removal for Ottinge properties
Found asbestos during building work in Ottinge? Work should stop there and people kept out. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. From old floor tiles and black adhesive and loft water tanks, we deal with water tanks, textured coatings and flue pipes.
In towns and villages like Ottinge, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

How it works
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start. Outdoor removal in Ottinge is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:15pm.

Afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Share any survey or test results
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Things not to do
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
What it costs
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- The quantity or area
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The category of work
- Location, parking and any London charges
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Photos that help
Photos often save us a visit:
- Labels, if any
- A rough size or measurement
- The parking area
- Cracks or breaks

What we deal with in Ottinge
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Old flues
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Asbestos found during building work
If you let property near Sandling station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

Your options compared
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Why people choose us
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Across London and the South East
- Reports and results you can share
Read how we quote and published price ranges.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is usually well bound.
Good to know

- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling

Ottinge questions
Could my house in Ottinge contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Ottinge?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
