About our asbestos removal in Box Hill
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical materials include flue pipes, textured coatings and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are finds during refurbishment and old sheds and coal bunkers.
In a village like Box Hill, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Typical removal jobs in Box Hill
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary, especially if broken material is lying around.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Old flues
- Materials found mid-project
- Old waste on site
- Cement water tanks in lofts
In older buildings across Box Hill, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.

FAQs for Box Hill
Do you work near Betchworth station?
Yes, we cover Box Hill and the area towards Betchworth station, about 0.8 miles east.
How far is Box Hill from London?
Box Hill is about 19 miles from central London, well within our area.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
