Asbestos removal near Brookwood
In homes, in Brookwood 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, which still means proper controls.

What happens
As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, ready to go to a permitted site. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing. Outdoor removal in Brookwood is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can

Getting ready
- Dig out previous surveys
- Mention any damage before we arrive

After the job
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Some practical advice:
- Share any survey or test results
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Your options compared
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why us?
- Reports and results you can share
- Accredited laboratory results
- Covering London and the South East
- Houses, flats and business premises

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
