Asbestos removal near Mytchett
Mytchett: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Mytchett homes?
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.
Do you cover Mytchett from London?
Mytchett is about 31 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
How asbestos removal works in Mytchett
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will say so. Typical jobs include old floor tiles and black adhesive and old waste on site, involving cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes.
In places like Mytchett, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, with access through the garden or drive. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Mytchett, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What we deal with in Mytchett
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Old cold water tanks
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Old waste on site
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
If you let property near Farnborough North station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Options to consider in Mytchett
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why us?
- Clear advice on your options
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
