Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
What we deal with in Mid Holmwood
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Surrey may contain it.
These come up again and again:
- Old waste on site
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Textured coatings
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
In older properties in Mid Holmwood, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Before booking anyone
- Any exclusions
- What category of work it is
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.

Mid Holmwood: your questions answered
How far is Mid Holmwood from London?
We cover Mid Holmwood, about 23 miles from central London.
Could my house in Mid Holmwood contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
