Removal jobs in Tilford
Tilford is about 3 miles south-east of Farnham, in Surrey. Properties in Tilford range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. Tilford is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. Our area stretches from Tilford to Guildford (about 9 miles away).
For rentals close to Farnham station, removal fits neatly between tenancies. In older buildings across Tilford, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.

Asbestos removal in Tilford
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. Whether it’s materials found mid-project and Artex ceilings before renovation, we deal with flue pipes, floor tiles and textured coatings.
In Tilford, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What we deal with in Tilford
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, although sound material can often stay.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Materials found mid-project
- Old waste on site
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
For non-domestic buildings like Waverley Abbey CofE Junior School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- What is not included
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
What’s included, and what isn’t
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flue pipes
- Panels and boards
- Water tanks

Weighing up your options
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

After we’ve finished in Tilford
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- File the consignment note
- Book the replacement before removal
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- How easy it is to reach
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed

Common questions in Tilford
Do you come out to small villages like Tilford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Tilford from London?
We cover Tilford, about 35 miles from central London.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
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.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
