About asbestos removal in KT18

Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. People often contact us about Artex before plastering and garage roof sheets, involving floor tiles, flue pipes and cement roof sheets.

At the end, the work area is cleaned with suitable methods and checked, and we talk you through what was done.

  1. Describe the material and send pictures
  2. We identify it if needed and plan the method
  3. You get a written quote, including waste disposal
  4. The material is removed safely
  5. We clean up and send you the waste paperwork

Removing asbestos in KT18

Across KT18, we remove asbestos cement, textured coatings, tiles, flues and tanks, in Epsom, Tadworth and Great Burgh and the 3 villages and hamlets around them.

Great Burgh: On busy roads like the B290 and B2221, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it. In a school like Shawley Community Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. Late-December sunset in Great Burgh is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

Prices and what affects them

When we quote, we look at:

  • Parking and access charges
  • How much waste there is
  • How many samples are needed
  • What the material is and its state

When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

Helping us quote

Before you send photos, a few tips:

  • Damaged areas
  • A closer photo of the material, without touching it
  • Approximate dimensions
  • A wide shot showing where the material is

To get a quote, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

Landlords, managing agents and employers

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

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.

The scope of asbestos removal

Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:

  • Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
  • Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
  • Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning

Materials, one by one

Bitumen and felt

They’re removed by hand.

Insulating board and lagging

It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.

Afterwards

After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.

  • Let neighbours know if work is near them
  • Plan any replacement work before the removal date
  • Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
  • Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos

Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.

FAQs for KT18

How do I know if my property contains asbestos?

Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.

Do you give written quotes?

Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.

How do I get a quote?

Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.

What does removal cost?

There’s no fixed price: 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 will identify it and advise on removal.

Can you help with a flat?

Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.

What paperwork will I get?

A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.

  • Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
  • Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
  • Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
  • Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
