Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
How we price asbestos removal
The cost depends on:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How much waste there is
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- The parking area
- Visible markings
- How we’d reach it
- A clear close-up
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.

Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Common questions in Hollywater
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.
How far is Hollywater from London?
Hollywater is about 43 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
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.
