Asbestos removal for Salfords
How asbestos removal works in Salfords
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Salfords: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. Common materials are flue pipes, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are Artex ceilings before renovation and asbestos found during building work.
In Salfords, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Common questions in Salfords
How far is Salfords from London?
Salfords is about 21 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Salfords?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
How do I get a quote?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Your options compared
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
Why people choose us
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Reports and results you can share
- Identify first, remove only when needed
Read how we price jobs or our cost guide.
After the job
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- File the consignment note
- Let us know where we can park
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
What to avoid
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Salfords
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Debris left from a previous job
- Artex before plastering
In older properties in Salfords, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
