Asbestos removal for Cranleigh
Common reasons for removal jobs in Cranleigh
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Surrey built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Debris left from a previous job
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Textured coatings
If you’re on or near the B2128, tell us about parking and loading, as main roads can be restricted.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Common questions in Cranleigh
Do you cover Cranleigh from London?
We cover Cranleigh, about 30 miles from central London.
Could my house in Cranleigh contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Cranleigh may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Cranleigh?
There’s no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

Choosing the right option
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

For businesses and landlords in Cranleigh
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
