Asbestos removal in Russ Hill
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, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
About our asbestos removal in Russ Hill
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Common materials are textured coatings, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets, and people typically contact us about materials found mid-project and floor tiles before a new floor.
In towns and villages like Russ Hill, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

What we deal with in Russ Hill
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
In older properties, we often see:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Garage roof sheets
- Materials found mid-project
- Broken sheets in gardens
In older properties in Russ Hill, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

What happens next
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
A few practical points:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Don’ts
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.

FAQs for Russ Hill
How far is Russ Hill from London?
Russ Hill is about 25 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Russ Hill have asbestos?
Any home in Russ Hill built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you run a business from older premises in Russ Hill, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What affects the price in Russ Hill
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- How much waste there is
- The category of work
- How many samples are needed
