Our asbestos removal in GU22
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Typical jobs include asbestos garages and floor tiles before a new floor, involving flue pipes, floor tiles and cement roof sheets.
If we find more than expected, or something different, we stop and talk to you, rather than carrying on regardless.

Asbestos removal across GU22
Across GU22, we remove asbestos cement, textured coatings, tiles, flues and tanks, from the bigger towns to the smallest villages.
Westfield: In older properties in Westfield, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first. Landlords near Woking station often time removal for when a property is empty. Late-December sunset in Westfield is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Before booking, note that:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Making good is normally a separate job
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Why people call us in GU22
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Loft water tanks
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Broken sheets in gardens
Which option is right?
Should it come out? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is typically right.
Before you book anyone
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- If the price includes VAT
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
GU22: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How much does asbestos removal cost in GU22?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
