How asbestos removal works in Addlestone
In homes, in Addlestone as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is usually non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. Typical materials include cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles, and typical jobs are broken sheets in gardens and garage roof sheets.
In places like Addlestone, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These come up again and again:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Artex before plastering
- Loft water tanks
- Asbestos garages
Older buildings in Addlestone, near St Paul's or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
What your quote should include
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- If the price includes VAT
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What isn’t included
Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
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.
After we’ve finished in Addlestone
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is usually a separate job, so plan it in advance.
After we have finished:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
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.

Choosing the right option
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
