About our asbestos removal in Tilford Common
If your builder has found suspect material in Tilford Common, work should stop there and people kept out. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. Common materials are floor tiles, cement roof sheets and cement soffits, and people normally contact us about loft water tanks and debris left from a previous job.
In a village like Tilford Common, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Going forward:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Don’ts
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

What it costs
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- How many samples are needed
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Access to the area
- How much there is
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- The access route
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Cracks or breaks
- An idea of size
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Weighing up your options
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and disposal still has to be done properly. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
