Asbestos removal in Wittersham
Asbestos removal near Wittersham
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. Whether it’s outbuildings with cement roofs and old waste on site, we deal with gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and cement soffits and more.
In Wittersham, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Wittersham: your questions answered
Do you cover Wittersham and the area around Rye station?
Yes. Rye station is about 4.5 miles south of Wittersham, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Wittersham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Why people call us in Wittersham
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Old flues
For properties on main roads such as the B2082, we plan parking and loading in advance, as main roads can be restricted.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- How fibres will be kept down
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
Your options compared
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why people choose us
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Written quotes that say what’s included

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Wittersham, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
