For businesses and landlords in Hooley
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Hooley
Do you cover Hooley and the area around Chipstead station?
Yes. Chipstead station is about 1.4 miles north-west of Hooley, and we cover both.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Hooley
Materials deteriorate with age: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is when removal comes up.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Old cold water tanks
- Garage roof sheets
In a school like Coulsdon Sixth Form College, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Send photos of the material and the access
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Step by step
As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. It helps if we can park nearby. Outdoor removal in Hooley is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.
