Asbestos removal in Farnham Royal
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. Whether it’s floor tiles before a new floor and old sheds and coal bunkers, we deal with cement roof sheets, cement soffits and flue pipes.
Rural removal near Farnham Royal can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is generally well bound.
After we’ve finished in Farnham Royal
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
Keeping things safe:
- Share any survey or test results
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Book the replacement before removal
Don’ts
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Duty holders and landlords in Farnham Royal
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Why people call us in Farnham Royal
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Textured coatings
- Asbestos found during building work
In a school like St Mary's Farnham Royal CofE Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

FAQs for Farnham Royal
Could my house in Farnham Royal contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Burnham station?
Yes, we cover Farnham Royal and the area towards Burnham station, about 1.8 miles south-west.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
