Asbestos removal for Broadford properties
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Whether it’s Artex ceilings before renovation and asbestos garages, we cover cement roof sheets, flue pipes and floor tiles.
Rural removal near Broadford can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Materials we deal with
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, normally tightly bound.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Typical removal jobs in Broadford
Sometimes damage forces the issue, especially if broken material is lying around.
In older properties, we often see:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
In older buildings across Broadford, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.
Questions to ask before booking
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab

Afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- File the consignment note
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
What to avoid
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Your options compared
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? The material and the job decide. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why choose us
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder

Broadford: your questions answered
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.
Do you cover Broadford and the area around Shalford station?
Yes. Shalford station is close to the centre of Broadford, and we cover the whole area.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
