About our asbestos removal in Buckland
In homes, in Buckland 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. Typical jobs include old flues and cement water tanks in lofts, including flue pipes, cement roof sheets and floor tiles.
In Buckland, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
The scope of asbestos removal
To be clear about the scope:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Panels and boards
- Bitumen roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flue pipes
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Soffits (cement)
- Water tanks
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Removing asbestos around Buckland
Buckland is about 2 miles west of Reigate, in Surrey. Buckland has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Buckland is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover. Our nearest city page is Crawley, about 9 miles away.
Older buildings in Buckland, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan. For non-domestic buildings like Reigate College, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. Buckland is within about 3 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape. Rural removal jobs nearby often mean planning access across yards and fields.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- The size of the job
- Travel and parking
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The survey scope
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Artex before plastering
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Old waste on site
For rentals close to Betchworth station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.

Buckland questions
Do you cover small places like Buckland?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Betchworth station?
Yes, we cover Buckland and the area towards Betchworth station, about 0.6 miles north-west.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can normally stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Buckland?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
