Your questions about asbestos removal in Seale
Could my house in Seale contain asbestos?
If your home in Seale was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Ash station?
Yes. Ash station is about 1.9 miles north of Seale, and we cover both.
Do you work in Seale?
Yes. We cover Seale and the surrounding area as part of Surrey. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Seale?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
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 usually aren’t licensed.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is typically well bound.
Step by step
Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area, and we talk you through what was done. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you. Late-December sunset in Seale is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

Other services in Seale
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

At a school such as St Paul's CofE Infant School & Nursery, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Asbestos found during building work
- Garage roof sheets
If you let property near Ash station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Suitable insurance for the work

If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
After we’ve finished:
- Tell us about any previous survey

- Plan any replacement work before the removal date

Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
