Asbestos removal in Farleigh
Your questions about asbestos removal in Farleigh
Do older homes in Farleigh have asbestos?
If your home in Farleigh was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Farleigh?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Farleigh?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
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.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Asbestos removal in Farleigh
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is generally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. Common materials are water tanks, cement soffits and flue pipes, and typical jobs are debris left from a previous job and cement water tanks in lofts.
In places like Farleigh, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Asbestos removal in Farleigh: local notes
Farleigh is about 4 miles north-east of Caterham, in Surrey. In Farleigh, we hear from homeowners, landlords and businesses about all kinds of jobs. We cover 395 places across Surrey. You can also see our page for London, about 12 miles away.
For non-domestic buildings like Meridian High School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. Older buildings in Farleigh, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
We cover removal jobs across CR6 and the streets around it. Local streets include Farleigh Court Road and Old Farleigh Road; we cover every one. If your property is just outside Farleigh, we also cover Chelsham (1 mile south), Fickleshole (1 mile east), Forestdale (1 mile north), New Addington (1 mile north-east) and Hamsey Green (1 mile west). We also cover nearby towns such as Epsom (10 miles west), Horley (12 miles south-west), Redhill (9 miles south-west), Ewell (10 miles west), Reigate (10 miles south-west) and Caterham (4 miles south-west).
A little further out are Warlingham Park Hospital (0.6 miles south) and East Surrey Museum (3.7 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Nore Hill and Hutchinson's Bank.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
What you get
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Clear written quotes
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

Doing it yourself?
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.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
After we’ve finished in Farleigh
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Once we’re done:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
