Asbestos removal in Banstead
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Banstead: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. People often contact us about debris left from a previous job and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, involving flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings.
In a smaller place like Banstead, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- The size of the job
- Parking and access charges
- The survey scope
- Waste quantity and disposal
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Helping us quote
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Labels, if any
- The parking area
- A picture of the whole area
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces

Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Banstead must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Banstead questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How far is Banstead from London?
We cover Banstead, about 13 miles from central London.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs don’t typically affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Flue pipes
- Soffits (cement)
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Gutters and downpipes
- Panels and boards
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks
- Bitumen roof felt
- Artex and textured coatings
Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Typical removal jobs in Banstead
Materials deteriorate with age: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Old cold water tanks
- Debris left from a previous job
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Artex ceilings before renovation
For non-domestic buildings like St Anne's Catholic Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
What your quote should include
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Whether VAT is included
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
What happens next
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
To avoid problems in future:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about parking and access
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Photos of the material and the route in help
What to avoid
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
The process
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and keep everyone else out of the work area. Parking close by makes the day easier. Outdoor removal in Banstead is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:20pm in June.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows
How to prepare
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
Getting a price
Include any existing survey or test when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
