Asbestos removal near Burpham
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. We often deal with cement soffits, flue pipes and water tanks, and people normally contact us about broken sheets in gardens and finds during refurbishment.
In a smaller place like Burpham, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, with access through the garden or drive. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is normally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Share any survey or test results
- File the consignment note
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Options to consider in Burpham
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot 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.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

Questions from Burpham
Could my house in Burpham contain asbestos?
If your home in Burpham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near London Road (Guildford) station?
Yes. London Road (Guildford) station is about 1.4 miles south-west of Burpham, and we cover both.
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.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
How do I get a quote?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Burpham
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Surrey may contain it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Garage roof sheets
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
At a school such as George Abbot School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
What to look for in a quote
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
