Asbestos removal in Pirbright
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is generally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. Typical jobs include floor tiles before a new floor and textured coatings, including cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and water tanks.
Rural removal near Pirbright can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

After the job
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.

- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- File the consignment note
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Don’ts
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
What we deal with in Pirbright
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Finds during refurbishment
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Cement water tanks in lofts
If you are on or near the A324, tell us about parking and loading, as main roads can be restricted.

Pirbright questions
Do you cover Pirbright from London?
Pirbright is about 28 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Pirbright?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
Your options compared
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
