Helpful guides
How asbestos removal works in Claygate
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. People often contact us about cement flues and gutters and Artex before plastering, involving gutters and downpipes, water tanks and cement roof sheets.
In a smaller place like Claygate, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
The scope of asbestos removal
Before you book, note that:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Artex and textured coatings
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flue pipes
- Water tanks
- Garage and shed roofs
- Bitumen roof felt
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits (cement)
- Panels and boards
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Claygate: your questions answered
Do older homes in Claygate have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Claygate station?
Yes, we cover Claygate, including the streets around Claygate station.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What affects the price in Claygate
Prices vary with:
- Access to the area
- Disposal costs
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Parking and access charges
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it in advance.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know where we can park
- File the consignment note
Don’ts
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
