Asbestos removal for Blackheath
Asbestos removal near Blackheath
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Blackheath: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. People often contact us about floor tiles before a new floor and old waste on site, involving floor tiles, flue pipes and cement roof sheets.
In areas like Blackheath, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Common questions in Blackheath
Do you cover Blackheath from London?
We cover Blackheath, about 27 miles from central London.
Do you cover Blackheath and the area around Chilworth station?
Yes, we cover Blackheath and the area towards Chilworth station, about 0.6 miles north.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
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.
Do you cover Blackheath?
Yes. We cover Blackheath and the surrounding area as part of Surrey. Send us the postcode for a quote.

Blackheath properties and asbestos removal
Blackheath is about 4 miles south-east of Guildford, in Surrey. Properties in Blackheath range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We cover all 395 towns and villages across Surrey.
Older buildings in Blackheath, near Church of St Martin or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan. For non-domestic buildings like Chilworth CofE (Aided) Infant School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. Blackheath is within about 3 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan.
We cover removal jobs across GU4 and the streets around it. Close by, we cover Chilworth (1 mile north-west), East Shalford (2 miles north-west), Shalford (2 miles west), Broadford (2 miles west) and Peasmarsh (3 miles west). Within a short drive, we also work in Guildford (4 miles north-west), Woking (8 miles north), Camberley (13 miles north-west), Epsom (14 miles north-east), Horley (15 miles east) and Farnham (12 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include Guildford Castle (2.9 miles north-west) and Shere Museum (2.8 miles east). Within reach you will find St Martha's Hill and St Martha's Hill and Colyer's Hanger.
- Nearby, you’ll find The Percy Arms (0.7 miles north)
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The size of the job
- What the material is and its state
- Location, parking and any London charges
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Approximate dimensions
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Share the postcode, a short description and photos: send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
After the job
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
After we’ve finished:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Share any survey or test results
Don’ts
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Choosing the right option
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is generally right. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
