Our asbestos removal in KT16
Every removal job in KT16 is planned first: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed, before anyone starts. Typical materials include textured coatings, floor tiles and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are finds during refurbishment and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area, and we talk you through what was done.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note
Cost
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

KT16: removal jobs of every size
Removal jobs across KT16 range from garage roofs in Chertsey, Ottershaw and Penton Hook to barns and outbuildings in 4 villages and hamlets. Town jobs mean planning parking; rural jobs mean planning access.
Chertsey: If you let property near Chertsey station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. Older buildings in Chertsey, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan. Late-December sunset in Chertsey is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
Afterwards
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell us about any previous survey
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Common reasons for removal jobs in KT16
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Cement flues and gutters
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
KT16: your questions answered
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How can I get a price?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
