About our asbestos removal in Gatton
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical materials include cement soffits, textured coatings and water tanks, and people normally contact us about old flues and old floor tiles and black adhesive.
In Gatton, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Gatton
Do you work near Merstham station?
Yes. Merstham station is about 1 mile east of Gatton, and we cover both.
How far is Gatton from London?
We cover Gatton, about 17 miles from central London.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Weighing up your options
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why us?
- Clear written quotes
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Covering London and the South East
See our prices page and our cost guide.
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot 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.
What happens next
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Things not to do
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Where asbestos turns up
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Surrey may contain it.
In older properties, we often see:
- Materials found mid-project
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Old cold water tanks
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
At a school such as Lime Tree Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Before booking anyone
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Which laboratory analyses samples
What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
