Materials we deal with
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is typically well bound.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The size of the job
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- A rough size or measurement
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The parking area
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
The scope of asbestos removal
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bitumen roof felt
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Panels and boards
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Flue pipes
- Soffits (cement)
For businesses and landlords in Shottermill
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Shottermill
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work near Haslemere station?
Yes, we cover Shottermill and the area towards Haslemere station, about 0.8 miles east.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
