About asbestos removal in GU17
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. We often deal with cement soffits, textured coatings and cement roof sheets, and people generally contact us about broken sheets in gardens and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.
We start by setting up and segregating the work area, and keep the material wet as we work.
- 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
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note
What it costs in GU17
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Blackwater: In older properties in Blackwater, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan. For rentals close to Blackwater station, removal fits neatly between tenancies. In winter, the light goes in Blackwater by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned

Questions from GU17
Do you test before removing asbestos in GU17?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
