Asbestos removal for Salehurst
Asbestos removal near Salehurst
Every removal job in Salehurst is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. People often contact us about loft water tanks and Artex before plastering, involving cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles.
Rural removal near Salehurst can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Salehurst questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How far is Salehurst from London?
Salehurst is about 43 miles from central London, well within our area.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Good to know
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks
- Artex and textured coatings
- Panels and boards
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits (cement)
- Bitumen roof felt
What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
After we have finished:
- Share any survey or test results
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep children and pets away on the day
What to avoid
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Choosing the right option
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. 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
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Covering London and the South East
- Reports and results you can share
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
Take a look at how we quote and published price ranges.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What we deal with in Salehurst
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Old cold water tanks
At a school such as Salehurst Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
