Asbestos removal in Pitch Place
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
How asbestos removal works in Pitch Place
You do not always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will tell you honestly when that’s the case. Typical materials include gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and cement soffits, and people typically contact us about broken sheets in gardens and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
In towns and villages like Pitch Place, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Let us know where we can park
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Avoid these
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.

Common questions in Pitch Place
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.
Could my house in Pitch Place contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Pitch Place may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
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 normally are not licensed.

Helpful guides
Why people call us in Pitch Place
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.

- Artex before plastering
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes

If you let property near Witley station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

What else we do in Pitch Place
DIY and asbestos
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.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Which option is right?
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
