Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
The scope of asbestos removal
A few things to be aware of:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Typical removal jobs in Sundridge
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
In a school like Combe Bank School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Sundridge
Could my house in Sundridge contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Sundridge may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Sundridge from London?
Sundridge is about 18 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
