Asbestos removal in Hale

In Hale, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Hale
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Surrey built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Finds during refurbishment
In a school like Farnham Heath End School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
What to look for in a quote
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed

What if my house is newer?
