Helpful guides
Duty holders and landlords in Shamley Green
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
What we do and do not cover
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Making good is normally a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Bitumen roof felt
- Panels and boards
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits (cement)
- Flue pipes
- Garage and shed roofs
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
How we price asbestos removal
When we quote, we look at:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The type of material and its condition
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The number of samples or the size of the building
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Helping us quote
What to photograph:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- An idea of size
- Where we could park
- A picture of the whole area
Each job is priced individually. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form to get started.
What happens next
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Book the replacement before removal
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Avoid these
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Common questions in Shamley Green
Do you cover Shamley Green and the area around Chilworth station?
Yes, we cover Shamley Green and the area towards Chilworth station, about 2.1 miles north.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What does removal cost?
There is no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
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.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
