Asbestos removal for Ranmore Common
Asbestos removal in Ranmore Common
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. Typical jobs include old sheds and coal bunkers and garage roofs and whole garages, involving water tanks, floor tiles and gutters and downpipes.
Rural removal near Ranmore Common can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Where asbestos turns up
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Surrey may contain it.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Loft water tanks
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Materials found mid-project
Older buildings in Ranmore Common, near Church of St Barnabas or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.

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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
