Found asbestos during building work in KT21? Work should stop there and people kept out. We will identify it and plan what happens next.

We start by setting up and segregating the work area, then keep the material damp throughout.

Removing asbestos in KT21
Across KT21, we remove asbestos cement, textured coatings, tiles, flues and tanks, from the bigger towns to the smallest villages.
Ashtead: In older properties in Ashtead, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first. In a school like Parsons Mead School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. Late-December sunset in Ashtead is about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
The scope of asbestos removal
So you know what to expect:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Questions from KT21
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
How much does asbestos removal cost in KT21?
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?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
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.
