About asbestos removal in KT9
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. We often deal with floor tiles, flue pipes and textured coatings, and people generally contact us about asbestos found during building work and old waste on site.
As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site.

- We check whether it’s licensed, notifiable or non-licensed work

Chessington: Landlords near Chessington North station often time removal for when a property is empty. On busy roads like the A243, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it, as main roads can be restricted. In winter, the light goes in Chessington by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

What we deal with in KT9
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.

- Finds during refurbishment
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Textured coatings
- Garage roofs and whole garages
What we do and do not cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:

Your questions about asbestos removal in KT9
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
