Asbestos removal in Stoughton
Common questions in Stoughton
Do you cover Stoughton and the area around Guildford station?
Yes. Guildford station is about 1.4 miles south-east of Stoughton, and we cover both.
Do you cover Stoughton from London?
Stoughton is about 27 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are generally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Asbestos removal for Stoughton properties
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. People often contact us about old floor tiles and black adhesive and broken sheets in gardens, involving cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes.
In a smaller place like Stoughton, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Old waste on site
- Materials found mid-project
- Textured coatings
For rentals close to Guildford station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
Before you book anyone
- The documents you’ll receive
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- VAT, clearly stated
- Suitable insurance for the work
What we do and don’t cover
Worth knowing before booking:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Options to consider in Stoughton
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

- The size of the job

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Stoughton, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Stoughton must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
After we’ve finished in Stoughton
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
After we’ve finished:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about parking and access
- Share any survey or test results
Don’ts
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
