Asbestos removal in Sutton at Hone
You do not always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will say so. Typical materials include floor tiles, water tanks and cement soffits, and people usually contact us about debris left from a previous job and outbuildings with cement roofs.
In Sutton at Hone, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Can you advise before I buy a property?

Do you test before removing asbestos in Sutton at Hone?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Where asbestos turns up
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
These are some of the things we deal with in Sutton at Hone:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Asbestos garages
- Old waste on site
In older properties in Sutton at Hone, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.

Weighing up your options

What you get
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Work done to the regulations
- Waste paperwork for every removal

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
Going forward:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Book the replacement before removal
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Send photos of the material and the access
Avoid these
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
DIY and asbestos
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.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Step by step
If we find more than expected, or something different, we stop and talk to you, before changing the plan. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down. In winter, the light goes in Sutton at Hone by about 3:50pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
