After we have finished in Norwood Hill
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is usually a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
A few practical points:
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Things not to do
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Options to consider in Norwood Hill
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
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.

Norwood Hill: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Norwood Hill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Horley station?
Yes, we cover Norwood Hill and the area towards Horley station, about 2.8 miles east.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor jobs don’t normally affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
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.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
