Asbestos removal in Pixham
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We will explain what applies to your job in Pixham. Typical materials include water tanks, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits, and typical jobs are materials found mid-project and Artex ceilings before renovation.
In towns and villages like Pixham, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

FAQs for Pixham
Do older homes in Pixham have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Pixham and the area around Dorking station?
Yes. Dorking station is close to the centre of Pixham, and we cover the whole area.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can usually stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
