Asbestos removal for Grayshott properties
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. Whether it’s cement flues and gutters and floor tiles before a new floor, we cover cement soffits, water tanks and textured coatings.
In a smaller place like Grayshott, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Grayshott
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.
Is asbestos common in Grayshott homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Grayshott may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs don’t usually affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.

We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and nobody else enters the work area. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start.

Helpful guides
Materials, one by one
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
After we’ve finished in Grayshott
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
After we’ve finished:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Things not to do
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.

How we price asbestos removal
Our quotes take into account:
- What the material is and its state
- The survey scope
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How much there is
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Sending photos
Photos often save us a visit:
- A rough size or measurement
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Street parking nearby
Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite 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.
Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What we do and do not cover
The usual limits are:
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
