What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
How asbestos removal works in Teasley Mead
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, and has to be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. We’ll tell you if your job in Teasley Mead falls into that category. Typical materials include cement soffits, floor tiles and water tanks, and typical jobs are old floor tiles and black adhesive and materials found mid-project.
In Teasley Mead, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

FAQs for Teasley Mead
Do you cover Teasley Mead and the area around Ashurst Kent station?
Yes. Ashurst Kent station is about 0.6 miles south-east of Teasley Mead, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Teasley Mead?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
