Asbestos removal for Barford properties

In homes, in Barford as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. People often contact us about cement water tanks in lofts and textured coatings, including gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and floor tiles.

Rural removal near Barford can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Barford questions

Could my house in Barford contain asbestos?

If your home in Barford was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do you work on properties 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.

What if the weather’s bad?

It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.

How can I get a price?

Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.

Does all asbestos have to be removed?

Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.

How much does asbestos removal cost in Barford?

It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.

Will I get the price in writing?

Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.

Can asbestos go in my bin?

No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.

A closer look at the materials

Water tanks and flues

Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.

Asbestos cement

Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.

Looking after things afterwards

Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is usually a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.

To avoid problems in future:

Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Keep children and pets away on the day

Things not to do

Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.

Where asbestos turns up

Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.

People usually contact us about one of these:

Old cold water tanks
Old sheds and coal bunkers
Old flues
Debris left from a previous job

In older buildings across Barford, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.

What your quote should include

Whether VAT is included
Whether the job needs notifying
Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
Whether they’re insured for asbestos work

What to check before you book

Asbestos removal in Barford: local notes

Barford is about 4 miles east of Bordon, in Surrey. Barford has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Barford is one of 395 places in Surrey where we work. We work right across the region, from Barford to Guildford (12 miles away).

If you let property near Haslemere station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. In a school like St John's CofE Aided Infant School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. Parts of the Surrey Hills National Landscape are within about 3 miles of Barford; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan.

DIY and asbestos

With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

For landlords, agents and businesses

If your business premises in Barford were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

How it works
