Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
FAQs for Small Dole
Do you cover small places like Small Dole?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Small Dole homes?
Any home in Small Dole built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Choosing the right option
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why people choose us
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
Take a look at how we quote and our cost guide.
Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
