What else we do in Leatherhead
DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Leatherhead
How far is Leatherhead from London?
We cover Leatherhead, about 17 miles from central London.
Do you work near Leatherhead station?
Yes. Leatherhead station is close to the centre of Leatherhead, and we cover the whole area.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
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.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The quantity or area
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Access to the area
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
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.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- An idea of size
- How we’d reach it
- Labels, if any
To get a quote, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Choosing the right option
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is generally right. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
