Which option is right?

Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is normally right. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Why people choose us

  • Reports and results you can share
  • Waste paperwork for every removal
  • Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

Common reasons for removal jobs in Wilsley Pound

Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:

  • Textured coatings
  • Garage roof sheets
  • Outbuildings with cement roofs
  • Broken sheets in gardens

If you let property near Staplehurst station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

What your quote should include

  • What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
  • Whether VAT is included
  • The documents you’ll receive
  • For licensed work, a valid HSE licence

How to choose an asbestos contractor

DIY and asbestos

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

What happens next

Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.

A few practical points:

  • Let neighbours know if work is near them
  • Keep children and pets away on the day
  • Photos of the material and the route in help
  • Share any survey or test results

Avoid these

Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.

Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

What we do and don’t cover

Some limits to bear in mind:

  • Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
  • Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
  • We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.

Common materials

  • Soffits (cement)
  • Gutters and downpipes
  • Bitumen roof felt
  • Asbestos cement sheets
  • Flue pipes
  • Water tanks
  • Garage and shed roofs
  • Floor tiles and adhesive
  • Artex and textured coatings

Common questions in Wilsley Pound

Do you cover Wilsley Pound and the area around Staplehurst station?

Yes, we cover Wilsley Pound and the area towards Staplehurst station, about 4.4 miles north.

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.

Do you give written quotes?

Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.

Is asbestos removal licensed?

It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are typically non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.

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.

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?

First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.

How much does asbestos removal cost in Wilsley Pound?

It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.

A closer look at the materials

Floor tiles

Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.

Textured coatings

Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.

  • Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
  • Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
  • Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
  • Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
