Asbestos removal in Farncombe
You do not always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. From garage roof sheets and cement flues and gutters, we cover gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and textured coatings.
In towns and villages like Farncombe, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
The process
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, before changing the plan. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down. We plan outdoor jobs in Farncombe to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We identify it if needed and plan the method
- You get a written quote, including waste disposal

- We clean up and send you the waste paperwork

Duty holders and landlords in Farncombe
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Farncombe, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Farncombe questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How far is Farncombe from London?
We cover Farncombe, about 30 miles from central London.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What affects the price in Farncombe
Prices vary with:
- How much waste there is
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How many samples are needed
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Helping us quote
For a quick quote, include:
- Approximate dimensions
- An overall view
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Visible markings
Include any existing survey or test when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- File the consignment note
- Tell us about parking and access
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Send photos of the material and the access
Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
