Asbestos removal for Dora's Green properties

Whether it’s cement water tanks in lofts and textured coatings, we deal with floor tiles, water tanks and textured coatings and more.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Dora's Green must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Once we are done:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Things not to do
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Dora's Green questions
Could my house in Dora's Green contain asbestos?
If your home in Dora's Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Dora's Green and the area around Farnham station?
Yes. Farnham station is about 2.3 miles south-east of Dora's Green, and we cover both.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Dora's Green?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
What we deal with in Dora's Green
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Old cold water tanks
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
At a school such as Crondall Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

Materials we deal with
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
What’s included, and what is not
A few things to be aware of:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Common materials
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits (cement)
- Bitumen roof felt
- Water tanks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Garage and shed roofs
- Panels and boards
- Artex and textured coatings
What it costs
What changes the cost:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How many samples are needed
- Waste quantity and disposal
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
