Asbestos removal near Lightwater
Asbestos removal near Lightwater
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Common materials are floor tiles, flue pipes and cement soffits, and people generally contact us about asbestos found during building work and Artex before plastering.
Properties in places like Lightwater with larger plots can have more than one cement-roofed building. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Why people call us in Lightwater
Old materials break down over time: 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:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Textured coatings
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Asbestos found during building work
In older properties in Lightwater, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.

Lightwater questions
Do you cover Lightwater from London?
Lightwater is about 27 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Lightwater and the area around Bagshot station?
Yes. Bagshot station is about 1.3 miles north-west of Lightwater, and we cover both.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Lightwater?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
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 paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
