Asbestos removal for Robertsbridge properties
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. People often contact us about sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and old cold water tanks, involving cement roof sheets, flue pipes and cement soffits.
In areas like Robertsbridge, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

We start by setting up and segregating the work area, and keep the material wet as we work. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. Late-December sunset in Robertsbridge is about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

How we price asbestos removal
When we quote, we look at:
- How much waste there is
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How many samples are needed
- Material and condition
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Helping us quote
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Damaged areas
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The parking area
To get a quote, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Choosing the right option
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why people choose us
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Clear advice on your options
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
Take a look at how we quote and the cost guide.
What happens next
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- File the consignment note
- Book the replacement before removal
- Share any survey or test results
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Don’ts
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.

When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
