What we deal with in Underriver
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Artex before plastering
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Debris left from a previous job
At a school such as Sevenoaks Preparatory School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
What your quote should include
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What paperwork you get
Asbestos removal for Underriver properties
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. We often deal with cement soffits, textured coatings and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are floor tiles before a new floor and old waste on site.
In a village like Underriver, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

How we price asbestos removal
Quotes vary because of:
- What the material is and its state
- Parking and access charges
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Photos that help
Photo tips:
- How we’d reach it
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Where we could park
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
To get a quote, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Which option is right?
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is typically right. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
What you get
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Covering London and the South East
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
See how we quote or the cost guide.
Afterwards
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Keeping things safe:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- File the consignment note
What to avoid
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Questions from Underriver
Do you cover Underriver from London?
We cover Underriver, about 22 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Underriver?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can usually stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
