Asbestos removal near Earlswood
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
How asbestos removal works in Earlswood
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. From finds during refurbishment and broken sheets in gardens, we deal with flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings and more.
In a smaller place like Earlswood, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, with access through the garden or drive. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Materials we deal with

Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Why people call us in Earlswood
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
These are some of the things we deal with in Earlswood:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Debris left from a previous job
- Old flues

Your questions about asbestos removal in Earlswood
Do you cover Earlswood and the area around Earlswood (Surrey) station?
Yes, we cover Earlswood, including the streets around Earlswood (Surrey) station.
How far is Earlswood from London?
Earlswood is about 19 miles from central London, well within our area.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are normally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
