Asbestos removal for Woolmer Hill
About our asbestos removal in Woolmer Hill
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. Typical materials include flue pipes, cement soffits and floor tiles, and typical jobs are cement water tanks in lofts and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
In Woolmer Hill, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
What happens
We start by setting up and segregating the work area, and keep the material wet as we work. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down. In winter, the light goes in Woolmer Hill by about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

Woolmer Hill: your questions answered
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you come out to small villages like Woolmer Hill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not typically affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Woolmer Hill?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Woolmer Hill must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Why people call us in Woolmer Hill
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Typical jobs in Woolmer Hill include:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Cement flues and gutters
- Asbestos garages
