Asbestos removal for Fetcham
How asbestos removal works in Fetcham
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed, before anyone starts. Typical jobs include debris left from a previous job and finds during refurbishment, involving water tanks, cement soffits and cement roof sheets.
In areas like Fetcham, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Questions from Fetcham
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.
Do you cover Fetcham and the area around Leatherhead station?
Yes, we cover Fetcham and the area towards Leatherhead station, about 1.2 miles north-east.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Fetcham?
There’s no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.

Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you run a business from older premises in Fetcham, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
How we price asbestos removal
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Parking and access charges
- The category of work
- How much there is
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Visible markings
- A rough size or measurement
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Where asbestos turns up
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Materials found mid-project
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Cement water tanks in lofts
In older properties in Fetcham, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Helpful guides
Can I do it myself?
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.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
