How asbestos removal works in Fernhill
Found asbestos during building work in Fernhill? Work should stop there and people kept out. We’ll identify it and plan what happens next. Common materials are floor tiles, cement roof sheets and gutters and downpipes, and people generally contact us about textured coatings and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
In towns and villages like Fernhill, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Weighing up your options
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Why people choose us
- Clear written quotes
- Domestic and commercial work
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- No removal until we know what it is
Read our prices page or our cost guide.
What happens next
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Send photos of the material and the access
What to avoid
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
FAQs for Fernhill
Is asbestos common in Fernhill homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Fernhill may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Fernhill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you work in Fernhill?
Yes. We cover Fernhill and the surrounding area as part of Surrey. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
