A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.

Helpful guides
Choosing the right option
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Charlwood questions
Is asbestos common in Charlwood homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Charlwood can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
