Asbestos removal for Chertsey properties
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll tell you honestly when that is the case. Typical materials include cement roof sheets, floor tiles and cement soffits, and people typically contact us about old sheds and coal bunkers and garage roofs and whole garages.
In a smaller place like Chertsey, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, with access through the garden or drive. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

What else we do in Chertsey
Choosing the right option
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is typically right. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Chertsey must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What affects the price in Chertsey

Your questions about asbestos removal in Chertsey
Do you cover Chertsey and the area around Chertsey station?
Yes, we cover Chertsey, including the streets around Chertsey station.
How far is Chertsey from London?
Chertsey is about 19 miles from central London, well within our area.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you cover Chertsey?

What we deal with in Chertsey

In older buildings across Chertsey, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Some limits to bear in mind:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
