Asbestos removal in Ditton Hill
Duty holders and landlords in Ditton Hill
If your business premises in Ditton Hill were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Asbestos removal near Ditton 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. Typical jobs include asbestos garages and finds during refurbishment, including textured coatings, water tanks and cement roof sheets.
In London neighbourhoods like Ditton Hill, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

What happens next
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
A few practical points:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about parking and access
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
What we do and do not cover
To be clear about the scope:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Questions from Ditton Hill
Do you work near Surbiton station?
Yes, we cover Ditton Hill and the area towards Surbiton station, about 1 mile north-east.
Is asbestos common in Ditton Hill homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Ditton Hill may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.

What if the weather’s bad?
