Should you do it yourself?
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 has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

What we deal with in Peaslake
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Materials found mid-project
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Loft water tanks
- Old flues
For rentals close to Gomshall station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
Questions to ask before you book
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
Your options compared
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why choose us
- Clear advice on your options
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Homes, rented property and workplaces

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.

Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Common questions in Peaslake
Do you cover Peaslake from London?
We cover Peaslake, about 26 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Peaslake homes?
If your home in Peaslake was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
