Asbestos removal in Sandling
You do not always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will tell you honestly when that’s the case. Whether it’s asbestos garages and cement water tanks in lofts, we deal with gutters and downpipes, cement soffits and floor tiles and more.
In Sandling, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Sandling: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Sandling?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Sandling from London?
Sandling is about 58 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Why people call us in Sandling
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
These come up again and again:
- Old flues
- Garage roof sheets
- Floor tiles before a new floor

At a school such as Brockhill Park Performing Arts College, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

What’s included, and what is not
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Bitumen roof felt
- Soffits (cement)
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flue pipes
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Panels and boards
- Water tanks
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
How it works
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. In winter, the light goes in Sandling by about 3:50pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Helpful guides
Weighing up your options
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why us?
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
