FAQs for South Godstone
Do older homes in South Godstone have asbestos?

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.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
What paperwork will I get?

Helpful guides
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Prices and what affects them
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- The quantity or area
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The type of material and its condition
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- An idea of size
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why us?
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Clear written quotes
