Asbestos removal in Egham
About our asbestos removal in Egham
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Common materials are flue pipes, cement soffits and floor tiles, and people generally contact us about finds during refurbishment and broken sheets in gardens.
In areas like Egham, typical jobs are garage roofs, flues and Artex, normally before renovation. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Materials, one by one
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Nearby places to Egham
After the job
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Once we’re done:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
Don’ts
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Egham
Do older homes in Egham have asbestos?
Any home in Egham built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Egham and the area around Egham station?
Yes, we cover Egham, including the streets around Egham station.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
For landlords, agents and businesses
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.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

What we deal with in Egham
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
These are some of the things we deal with in Egham:
- Loft water tanks
- Finds during refurbishment
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
At a school such as Manorcroft Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The scope of the job, in writing
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Artex and textured coatings
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Water tanks
- Soffits (cement)
- Gutters and downpipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Bitumen roof felt
- Garage and shed roofs
- Panels and boards
- Flue pipes
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
