How asbestos removal works in Ashtead
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 will explain what applies to your job in Ashtead. People often contact us about garage roofs and whole garages and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, including cement roof sheets, textured coatings and water tanks.
Homes and small businesses in towns and villages like Ashtead often have asbestos cement in roofs and outbuildings that need removing before work. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Ashtead
Is asbestos common in Ashtead homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Ashtead station?
Yes. Ashtead station is about 0.6 miles north of Ashtead, and we cover both.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can typically stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What’s included, and what isn’t
What’s in and what’s out:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
After we’ve finished:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about parking and access
Things not to do
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
