Asbestos removal in Long Ditton
Asbestos removal for Long Ditton properties
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. Typical materials include textured coatings, water tanks and flue pipes, and people generally contact us about floor tiles before a new floor and finds during refurbishment.
Removal jobs around Long Ditton often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Why people call us in Long Ditton
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
These come up again and again:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Garage roof sheets
- Finds during refurbishment
- Artex ceilings before renovation
In older properties in Long Ditton, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- What category of work it is
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
Common questions in Long Ditton
Do you cover Long Ditton and the area around Surbiton station?
Yes, we cover Long Ditton and the area towards Surbiton station, about 0.7 miles north-east.
Could my house in Long Ditton contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Long Ditton can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Looking after things afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
To avoid problems in future:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Book the replacement before removal
Don’ts
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
