Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
How asbestos removal works in Oxshott
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. We often deal with flue pipes, cement soffits and textured coatings, and people normally contact us about old waste on site and Artex ceilings before renovation.
Properties in areas like Oxshott with larger plots may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Oxshott
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
In older buildings across Oxshott, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.

Duty holders and landlords in Oxshott
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Common questions in Oxshott
Do you cover Oxshott and the area around Oxshott station?
Yes. Oxshott station is close to the centre of Oxshott, and we cover the whole area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.

File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.

What to avoid
