Asbestos removal in Byfleet
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. People often contact us about outbuildings with cement roofs and old floor tiles and black adhesive, involving cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes.
Properties in places like Byfleet with larger plots can have more than one cement-roofed building. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

FAQs for Byfleet
How far is Byfleet from London?
We cover Byfleet, about 20 miles from central London.
Do you cover Byfleet and the area around Byfleet & New Haw station?
Yes. Byfleet & New Haw station is about 0.8 miles north of Byfleet, and we cover both.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
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.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
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.
The process
Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area, and we talk you through what was done. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. In winter, the light goes in Byfleet by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We identify it if needed and plan the method
- We send a quote covering the work and the waste
- The material is removed safely
- We clean up and send you the waste paperwork
Before we arrive
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Getting a price
Every job is quoted in writing. Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
