Asbestos removal in Tongham
Asbestos removal near Tongham
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed, before anyone starts. Typical jobs include old sheds and coal bunkers and old flues, involving gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and cement roof sheets.
Homes in Tongham with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building, which can often be dealt with together. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

For businesses and landlords in Tongham
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
If you run a business from older premises in Tongham, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Some practical advice:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Avoid these
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Common questions in Tongham
Do you cover Tongham from London?
Tongham is about 33 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Tongham have asbestos?
Any home in Tongham built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Prices and what affects them
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- How much waste there is
- Material and condition
- Access to the area
- Location, parking and any London charges
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Sending photos
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Where we could park
- Damaged areas
- A rough size or measurement
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Surrey may contain it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Old waste on site
- Old flues
For rentals close to Ash station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
