Asbestos removal near Sutton Valence
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. People often contact us about old floor tiles and black adhesive and old sheds and coal bunkers, including flue pipes, cement roof sheets and cement soffits.
In towns and villages like Sutton Valence, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is usually well bound.
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
For landlords, agents and businesses
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.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Sutton Valence
Do you cover small places like Sutton Valence?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Sutton Valence have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor jobs don’t generally affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
