Asbestos removal for Redhill
Asbestos removal in Redhill
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. From asbestos found during building work and old sheds and coal bunkers, we deal with floor tiles, textured coatings and cement soffits.
Homes and small businesses in towns and villages like Redhill often have asbestos cement in roofs and outbuildings. We only recommend work that is needed.

Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Choosing the right option
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Redhill
How far is Redhill from London?
We cover Redhill, about 18 miles from central London.
Do you cover Redhill and the area around Redhill station?
Yes, we cover Redhill, including the streets around Redhill station.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
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.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
After we have finished in Redhill
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
Going forward:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Photos of the material and the route in help

Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
What we do and do not cover
Worth knowing before you book:
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

What else we do in Redhill
What we deal with in Redhill
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
These come up again and again:
- Old flues
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old cold water tanks
- Artex ceilings before renovation
On busy roads like the A23 and A25, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it, as main roads can be restricted.
Questions to ask before booking
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The method and controls
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- If the price includes VAT
