Asbestos removal in Upper Hale
About our asbestos removal in Upper Hale
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. Common materials are flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and water tanks, and typical jobs are finds during refurbishment and garage roofs and whole garages.
In areas like Upper Hale, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
These come up again and again:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Asbestos garages
- Old waste on site
Landlords near Farnham station often time removal for when a property is empty.
What your quote should include

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Upper Hale: your questions answered
Do you cover Upper Hale and the area around Farnham station?
Yes, we cover Upper Hale and the area towards Farnham station, about 1.6 miles south.
Is asbestos common in Upper Hale homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Upper Hale may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
