Asbestos removal near Lingfield
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
How asbestos removal works in Lingfield
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. Typical jobs include garage roofs and whole garages and broken sheets in gardens, including flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles.
In a smaller place like Lingfield, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Lingfield
Is asbestos common in Lingfield homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Lingfield may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Lingfield from London?
Lingfield is about 23 miles from central London, well within our area.
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.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you work in Lingfield?
Yes. We cover Lingfield and the surrounding area as part of Surrey. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are generally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Why people call us in Lingfield
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
These are some of the things we deal with in Lingfield:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Debris left from a previous job
- Finds during refurbishment
- Asbestos garages
Older buildings in Lingfield, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Questions to ask before booking
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Soffits (cement)
- Flue pipes
- Water tanks
- Gutters and downpipes

Weighing up your options
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
How we work in Lingfield
- Accredited laboratory results
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
