Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- How much waste there is
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The type of material and its condition
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
Helping us quote
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Visible markings
- A picture of the whole area
- An idea of size
- How we’d reach it

Common questions in Walderslade
Is asbestos common in Walderslade homes?
If your home in Walderslade was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Walderslade from London?
Walderslade is about 29 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are normally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
What we deal with in Walderslade
Materials deteriorate with age: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Old waste on site
In older buildings across Walderslade, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.
What your quote should include
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
The scope of asbestos removal
So you know what to expect:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Making good is normally a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
