Asbestos removal for Capel
What we deal with in Capel
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:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Garage roof sheets
- Asbestos found during building work
- Artex before plastering
In a school like Scott Broadwood CofE Infant School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Asbestos removal near Capel
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. We often deal with water tanks, floor tiles and cement soffits, and people usually contact us about Artex ceilings before renovation and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles.
In a village like Capel, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- File the consignment note
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Things not to do
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Your options compared
Be wary of a price that seems too low: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. 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.

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Capel, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
What we do and do not cover
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
