About asbestos removal in KT8
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. We often deal with floor tiles, water tanks and textured coatings, and people typically contact us about outbuildings with cement roofs and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We identify it if needed and plan the method
- You get a written quote, including waste disposal
- The material is removed safely
- The area is cleaned and you get the consignment note

Removing asbestos in KT8
Across KT8, we remove asbestos cement, textured coatings, tiles, flues and tanks, in Esher, Molesey and West Molesey and the 0 villages and hamlets around them.
Molesey: On busy roads like the A309, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it, as main roads can be restricted. In older properties in Molesey, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first. We plan outdoor jobs in Molesey to finish before dark: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:20pm in June.
For landlords, agents and businesses
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.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
After the job
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
- Let us know where we can park
- File the consignment note
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
What’s included, and what is not
To be clear about the scope:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
Where asbestos turns up
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Old waste on site
- Artex before plastering
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Asbestos garages
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Your questions about asbestos removal in KT8
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
