About our asbestos removal in Whyteleafe
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is usually non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. People often contact us about debris left from a previous job and loft water tanks, including cement soffits, floor tiles and water tanks.
In Whyteleafe, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Whyteleafe were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
What happens next
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
Going forward:
- File the consignment note
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Book the replacement before removal
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Common questions in Whyteleafe
Do you come out to small villages like Whyteleafe?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Whyteleafe homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Whyteleafe may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
The process
Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area, and we talk you through what was done. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. In winter, the light goes in Whyteleafe by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Keep children and pets away on the day
