Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Asbestos removal near Soberton
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. Common materials are gutters and downpipes, water tanks and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are garage roofs and whole garages and outbuildings with cement roofs.
In Soberton, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Questions from Soberton
Do you cover Soberton from London?
Soberton is about 59 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Soberton homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Soberton?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How do I get a quote?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
What we do and do not cover
Worth knowing before you book:
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Common materials
- Panels and boards
- Soffits (cement)
- Artex and textured coatings
- Bitumen roof felt
- Flue pipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Garage and shed roofs
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- How many samples are needed
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- What the material is and its state
- The size of the job
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- A clear close-up
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A rough size or measurement
- An overall view
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Looking after things afterwards
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
Some practical advice:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Share any survey or test results
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Avoid these
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
