Asbestos removal in Westhumble
Choosing the right option
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

- Share any survey or test results
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere

Avoid these

Removal jobs in Westhumble
Westhumble is about 2 miles north of Dorking, in Surrey. Westhumble has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We work in all 395 towns and villages in Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. Our area stretches from Westhumble to Guildford (about 10 miles away).
Older buildings in Westhumble, near Church of St Michael or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first. For non-domestic buildings like The Ashcombe School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. Westhumble is within about 2 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Westhumble, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Westhumble, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
FAQs for Westhumble
Do you come out to small villages like Westhumble?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Westhumble from London?
Westhumble is about 20 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can generally stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are generally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
