Asbestos removal near Sutton
Asbestos removal near Sutton
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will tell you honestly when that’s the case. We often deal with cement roof sheets, textured coatings and flue pipes, and typical jobs are vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and cement flues and gutters.
In areas like Sutton, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Sutton: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Sutton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Sutton from London?
Sutton is about 59 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
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.
Why people call us in Sutton
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Typical jobs in Sutton include:
- Materials found mid-project
- Cement flues and gutters
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Artex before plastering
In older buildings across Sutton, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.
Before booking anyone
