Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is usually well bound.

- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Don’ts
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Asbestos garages
- Old cold water tanks
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
In older properties in Slaugham, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
Questions to ask before booking
- VAT, clearly stated
- The documents you’ll receive
- The method and controls
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
Your options compared
Should it come out? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

Slaugham questions
Is asbestos common in Slaugham homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Slaugham can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Slaugham from London?
We cover Slaugham, about 32 miles from central London.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
