Asbestos help in Thames Ditton
How asbestos removal works in Thames Ditton
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. Whether it’s textured coatings and finds during refurbishment, we cover gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and cement soffits and more.
Homes in Thames Ditton with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building, which can often be dealt with together. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Thames Ditton: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Thames Ditton homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Thames Ditton can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Thames Ditton from London?
Thames Ditton is about 13 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What we do and do not cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials we see
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Bitumen roof felt
- Water tanks
- Panels and boards
- Soffits (cement)
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Gutters and downpipes
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
What affects the price in Thames Ditton
We base our quote on:
- The type of material and its condition
- How much waste there is
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Travel and parking
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Thames Ditton must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
After we’ve finished:
- Share any survey or test results
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell us about parking and access
What to avoid
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
