Weighing up your options
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Why choose us
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Records for your files

Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Wentworth, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Step by step
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and keep the room closed while we work. The work area is kept clear while we are working.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally
Preparing for the visit
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Dig out previous surveys
How to get a quote
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

FAQs for Wentworth
Do you cover Wentworth and the area around Longcross station?
Yes, we cover Wentworth and the area towards Longcross station, about 1 mile south.
Do textured ceilings in Wentworth homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Do you work in Wentworth?
Yes. We cover Wentworth and the surrounding area as part of Surrey. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
