Asbestos removal in Ansteadbrook
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. From asbestos garages and finds during refurbishment, we cover floor tiles, cement soffits and cement roof sheets and more.

What we deal with in Ansteadbrook
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Old flues
- Old waste on site
- Garage roof sheets
- Materials found mid-project
If you let property near Haslemere station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
What to look for in a quote
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Which areas and materials are covered
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Ansteadbrook, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Ansteadbrook: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Ansteadbrook from London?
Ansteadbrook is about 38 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Ansteadbrook?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, usually tightly bound.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How many samples are needed
- The type of material and its condition
- Location, parking and any London charges
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

When you send photos, these help most:
- The access route
