Asbestos removal for Wilsley Green properties
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. From garage roof sheets and asbestos found during building work, we deal with gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and flue pipes and more.
In Wilsley Green, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Looking after things afterwards
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Avoid these
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
FAQs for Wilsley Green
Do older homes in Wilsley Green have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.

What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Asbestos garages
- Old waste on site
- Loft water tanks
At a school such as Cranbrook Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
