Asbestos removal for Chobham
Asbestos removal for Chobham properties
Every removal job in Chobham is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. From Artex before plastering and old waste on site, we deal with water tanks, floor tiles and flue pipes and more.
Homes in Chobham with bigger gardens may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
To avoid problems in future:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Book the replacement before removal
Things not to do
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Removal jobs in Chobham

If you let property near Longcross station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. Older buildings in Chobham, near Church of St Lawrence or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Chobham
Do you cover Chobham from London?
We cover Chobham, about 24 miles from central London.
Do you work near Longcross station?
Yes, we cover Chobham and the area towards Longcross station, about 2.3 miles north.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Chobham?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Do you cover Chobham?
Yes, we do: Chobham is within the area we cover in Surrey. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What affects the price in Chobham
The cost depends on:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How easy it is to reach
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The size of the job
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The parking area
- How we’d reach it
- Damaged areas
Each job is priced individually. To start, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Your options compared
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why us?
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Work done to the regulations
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

Typical removal jobs in Chobham
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Textured coatings
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Old cold water tanks
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
On busy roads like the A319, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it, as main roads can be restricted.
What your quote should include

A closer look at the materials
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
The process
We start by setting up and segregating the work area, then keep the material damp throughout. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. Late-December sunset in Chobham is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
