About our asbestos removal in Coombe Hill
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. Common materials are cement roof sheets, floor tiles and textured coatings, and people normally contact us about sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and old flues.
In Coombe Hill, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Coombe Hill
Do you work near Norbiton station?
Yes, we cover Coombe Hill and the area towards Norbiton station, about 1.6 miles south-west.
Do older homes in Coombe Hill have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Coombe Hill may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Weighing up your options
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
Why us?
- Clear advice on your options
- Covering London and the South East
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder

How we price asbestos removal
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- How many samples are needed
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The quantity or area
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What to photograph
Helpful photos:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
You’ll get a written quote. Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 with the details.
Doing 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.
After we have finished in Coombe Hill
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Don’ts
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
