Duty holders and landlords in Horsell
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Asbestos removal in Horsell
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, including cement roof sheets, textured coatings and floor tiles.
Properties in areas like Horsell with larger plots may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. We only recommend work that’s needed.

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Prices and what affects them
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- Material and condition
- The quantity or area
- Parking and access charges
- The survey scope
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A picture of the whole area
- The access route
- Visible markings
- The parking area

Removing asbestos around Horsell
Horsell is about 1 mile north-east of Woking, in Surrey. Properties in Horsell range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Horsell is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 6 miles away.
Older buildings in Horsell, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first. At a school such as Woking High School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

Horsell: your questions answered
Do you cover Horsell from London?
We cover Horsell, about 23 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Horsell have asbestos?
Any home in Horsell built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.
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.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Where asbestos turns up
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Old waste on site
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Loft water tanks
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
For properties on main roads such as the A3046, we plan parking and loading in advance, as main roads can be restricted.
What to look for in a quote
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Whether the job needs notifying
Your options compared
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
