How asbestos removal works in Sutton
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. People often contact us about Artex before plastering and debris left from a previous job, including cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes.
In areas like Sutton, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Sutton, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
What happens
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. Late-December sunset in Sutton is about 3:50pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

Why people call us in Sutton
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Cement flues and gutters
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
Landlords near Martin Mill station often time removal for when a property is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- What category of work it is
- How fibres will be kept down
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What happens next
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Choosing the right option
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
