Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Asbestos removal for Gomshall properties

Step by step
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Gomshall is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
Getting ready
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
What we deal with in Gomshall
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, although sound material can often stay.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Loft water tanks
- Artex before plastering
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Materials found mid-project
In older properties in Gomshall, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.

Other services in Gomshall
Should you do it yourself?

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Gomshall
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you come out to small villages like Gomshall?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you cover Gomshall?
Yes, we do: our area includes Gomshall and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
After we’ve finished in Gomshall
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the consignment note
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Book the replacement before removal
What to avoid
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

Every quote reflects:
- The quantity or area
- Parking and access charges
