What affects the price in Hatchford End
We base our quote on:
- Parking and access charges
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Access to the area
- How many samples are needed
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- An overall view
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- An idea of size
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
For a quote, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
For managing agents and freeholders in Hatchford End, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
Typical jobs in Hatchford End include:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Textured coatings
- Asbestos found during building work
For rentals close to Effingham Junction station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.

Common questions in Hatchford End
Do you cover Hatchford End from London?
We cover Hatchford End, about 20 miles from central London.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
After we have finished in Hatchford End
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
To avoid problems in future:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Share any survey or test results
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
What to avoid
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
- 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
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
