Asbestos removal near Charleshill
Asbestos removal in Charleshill
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll say so. From old cold water tanks and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, we cover gutters and downpipes, water tanks and textured coatings and more.
In Charleshill, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

What happens next
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Don’ts
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.

Materials, one by one
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.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Bitumen roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Panels and boards
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits (cement)
- Flue pipes
Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. 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.
What you get
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Written quotes that say what’s included

Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Where asbestos turns up
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Asbestos found during building work
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
If you are on or near the B3001, tell us about parking and loading, as main roads can be restricted.

FAQs for Charleshill
Do you cover Charleshill from London?
We cover Charleshill, about 35 miles from central London.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What does removal cost?
There’s no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Charleshill?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
