Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement

Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.

Choosing the right option
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. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

Typical removal jobs in Ottershaw
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
In older properties, we often see:
- Old cold water tanks
- Finds during refurbishment
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
In older buildings across Ottershaw, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.
What to look for in a quote
- The documents you’ll receive
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
Looking after things afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Keeping things safe:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Share any survey or test results
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the material and the access
Things not to do
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
What else we do in Ottershaw
Common questions in Ottershaw
Do older homes in Ottershaw have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Chertsey station?
Yes. Chertsey station is about 1.9 miles north-east of Ottershaw, and we cover both.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
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 aren’t licensed.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
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.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
