About asbestos removal in GU46
Asbestos removal in GU46 covers homes, rental property and workplaces: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. We often deal with textured coatings, floor tiles and water tanks, and typical jobs are old floor tiles and black adhesive and asbestos garages.
We start by setting up and segregating the work area, and keep the material wet as we work.
- Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully

Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
After we have finished in GU46
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
- Let us know where we can park
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you run a business from older premises in GU46, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Where asbestos turns up
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
These are some of the things we deal with in GU46:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Loft water tanks
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Artex ceilings before renovation
Questions from GU46
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not generally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
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.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
