Asbestos removal for West Hoathly properties
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. Typical jobs include garage roofs and whole garages and broken sheets in gardens, involving cement soffits, water tanks and cement roof sheets.
In a village like West Hoathly, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Weighing up your options
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
