Asbestos removal in Woodmansterne

Homes in Woodmansterne with bigger gardens may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

What it might be made of
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is normally well bound.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- Disposal costs
- The type of material and its condition
- The category of work
- The survey scope
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Cracks or breaks
- Labels, if any
- A clear close-up
Every job is quoted in writing. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
After we’ve finished in Woodmansterne
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
Some practical advice:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Things not to do
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in Woodmansterne, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Typical removal jobs in Woodmansterne
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Artex ceilings before renovation
Landlords near Chipstead station often time removal for when a property is empty.

FAQs for Woodmansterne
Do you cover Woodmansterne from London?
Woodmansterne is about 13 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Chipstead station?
Yes. Chipstead station is close to the centre of Woodmansterne, and we cover the whole area.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
