About asbestos removal in Surrey

Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We’ll explain what applies to your job in Surrey. We often deal with water tanks, cement soffits and textured coatings, and typical jobs are Artex ceilings before renovation and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.

On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout.

Responsibilities for owners

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

Should you do it yourself?

Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

FAQs for Surrey

Should I check for asbestos before buying?

Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.

How do I get a quote?

Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

When can you start?

That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.

Does someone need to be there?

We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.

Do you work in flats?

Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?

A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.

Do you give written quotes?

Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
