Asbestos removal for Selling properties
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Selling: 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. We often deal with water tanks, cement soffits and floor tiles, and typical jobs are asbestos garages and old floor tiles and black adhesive.
In a village like Selling, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.

Selling: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Selling?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Selling station?
Yes, we cover Selling and the area towards Selling station, about 0.8 miles north-east.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
After we’ve finished in Selling
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
What to avoid
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
What affects the price in Selling
Our quotes take into account:
- Access to the area
- The quantity or area
- How many samples are needed
- Material and condition
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The access route
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Cracks or breaks
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 to get started.
What we deal with in Selling
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
These are some of the things we deal with in Selling:
- Loft water tanks
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
In older properties in Selling, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
