Asbestos removal in Hindhead
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. People often contact us about Artex ceilings before renovation and asbestos garages, involving textured coatings, flue pipes and water tanks.
In a village like Hindhead, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Looking after things afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Share any survey or test results
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Avoid these
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
What we deal with in Hindhead
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
These are some of the things we deal with in Hindhead:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos found during building work
- Garage roof sheets
In older properties in Hindhead, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- If the price includes VAT
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- The scope of the job, in writing
Duty holders and landlords in Hindhead

FAQs for Hindhead
Could my house in Hindhead contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
