Asbestos removal in Ewell
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is typically non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. Typical jobs include textured coatings and old waste on site, involving gutters and downpipes, cement soffits and textured coatings.
In a town like Ewell, removal jobs are often garage roofs, sheds, flues, tanks and textured coatings in homes, normally before renovation. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

What affects the price in Ewell
We base our quote on:
- The type of material and its condition
- The survey scope
- Travel and parking
- Disposal costs
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Visible markings
- The access route
- A rough size or measurement
- The parking area
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Ewell were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

Options to consider in Ewell
What kind of work is it? The material and the job decide. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Why choose us
- Clear written quotes
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Records for your files
- Waste paperwork for every removal
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Limits to be aware of
Before you book, note that:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Artex and textured coatings
- Flue pipes
- Soffits (cement)
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks
- Panels and boards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Bitumen roof felt
The process
If we find more than expected, or something different, we stop and talk to you, before changing the plan. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Ewell is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking and access
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Keep children and pets away on the day

Common questions in Ewell
How far is Ewell from London?
Ewell is about 12 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Ewell
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Materials found mid-project
- Textured coatings
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
For non-domestic buildings like St Clement's Catholic Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
