Asbestos removal in Stanford Common
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will say so. From cement water tanks in lofts and broken sheets in gardens, we deal with cement roof sheets, water tanks and cement soffits and more.
In areas like Stanford Common, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Common questions in Stanford Common
How far is Stanford Common from London?
Stanford Common is about 28 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Stanford Common and the area around Brookwood station?
Yes, we cover Stanford Common and the area towards Brookwood station, about 1.6 miles north.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Stanford Common?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Your options compared
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

Typical removal jobs in Stanford Common
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
In older properties, we often see:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Asbestos garages
- Cement flues and gutters
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
Older buildings in Stanford Common, near Church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
What your quote should include
- The documents you will receive
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
How we price asbestos removal
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- The type of material and its condition
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How easy it is to reach
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Photos that help
Helpful photos:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Approximate dimensions
- Cracks or breaks
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
After we have finished in Stanford Common
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
Once we are done:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Let us know where we can park
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
