Asbestos help in Sutton
Choosing the right option
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why us?
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Records for your files
- No removal until we know what it is
- Quotes that spell out the scope

Asbestos removal in Sutton
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. People often contact us about old flues and cement water tanks in lofts, including gutters and downpipes, cement soffits and cement roof sheets.
In towns and villages like Sutton, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
After we’ve finished:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere

- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
For businesses and landlords in Sutton
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Why people call us in Sutton
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Artex before plastering
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Materials found mid-project
- Garage roof sheets
Landlords near Sutton (London) station often time removal for when a property is empty.

What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Common questions in Sutton
Do you work near Sutton (London) station?
Yes. Sutton (London) station is close to the centre of Sutton, and we cover the whole area.
Could my house in Sutton contain asbestos?
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 much does asbestos removal cost in Sutton?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
