Why people call us in Sholden
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Old cold water tanks
- Garage roof sheets
In older buildings across Sholden, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.

Asbestos removal near Sholden
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. Typical materials include floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes, and typical jobs are cement flues and gutters and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
Rural removal near Sholden can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

After the job
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
Once we are done:
- Share any survey or test results
- Send photos of the material and the access
- File the consignment note
- Keep children and pets away on the day
What to avoid
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
How we price asbestos removal
When we quote, we look at:
- How much there is
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How easy it is to reach
- Location, parking and any London charges
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Where we could park
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A clear close-up
- An overall view
Not sure what you need? Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page and describe the problem, and we will advise.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
FAQs for Sholden
Do you come out to small villages like Sholden?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Sholden from London?
We cover Sholden, about 66 miles from central London.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
How can I get a price?
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.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
