How asbestos removal works in Surbiton
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll say so. We often deal with textured coatings, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are old flues and old cold water tanks.
In places like Surbiton, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Choosing the right option
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Surbiton
Could my house in Surbiton contain asbestos?
If your home in Surbiton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Surbiton with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
The scope of asbestos removal
To be clear about the scope:
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Bitumen roof felt
- Flue pipes
- Gutters and downpipes
- Water tanks
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Panels and boards
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Soffits (cement)
For businesses and landlords in Surbiton
If your business premises in Surbiton were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Surbiton, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
In older properties, we often see:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Textured coatings
- Old waste on site
- Cement flues and gutters
If you are on or near the A240 and A3210, tell us about parking and loading, as main roads can be restricted.
Questions to ask before booking
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
