Asbestos removal for Hookwood properties
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. From floor tiles before a new floor and materials found mid-project, we cover cement soffits, flue pipes and textured coatings.
In Hookwood, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

FAQs for Hookwood
Do you cover small places like Hookwood?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Where asbestos turns up
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Surrey may contain it.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Asbestos found during building work
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
In a school like Manorfield Primary and Nursery School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
