Asbestos removal in Strood Green
How asbestos removal works in Strood Green
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Whether it’s floor tiles before a new floor and Artex before plastering, we deal with water tanks, floor tiles and cement soffits and more.
Rural removal near Strood Green can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Strood Green questions
Do you cover Strood Green and the area around Betchworth station?
Yes. Betchworth station is about 1.9 miles north of Strood Green, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Strood Green homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How do I get a quote?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.

As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. We will tell you when we’ve finished and what you will receive afterwards. Late-December sunset in Strood Green is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have

- We quote in writing, including the waste
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
