Asbestos Removal in Ashford
For safe, compliant asbestos removal in Ashford, our HSE-licensed and non-licensed teams handle everything from a single garage roof to a full strip-out across Surrey.
Asbestos in Ashford
Ashford grew steadily through the interwar years and again after the war, giving it street after street of 1930s semis, 1950s and 1960s estates, and low-rise blocks around the town centre and Clockhouse Lane. That is the core asbestos period, so cement garage roofs, soffits, gutters and flues are widespread, with insulating board around airing cupboards and boilers and Artex added during later modernisation. Proximity to Heathrow means a lot of the housing is rented, so landlord and managing-agent surveys are common. The industrial units and yards along the Feltham and Staines roads add commercial roof and cladding work.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Ashford properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

Four steps to certainty
Plan
We produce a plan of work (or notify the HSE for licensed jobs), method statement and risk assessment specific to your site.
Enclose
Work areas are sealed in controlled enclosures under negative pressure so no fibre escapes.
Remove
Operatives in full RPE strip and double-bag material, decontaminating as they go.
Clear
An independent analyst runs the 4-stage clearance and issues the certificate of reoccupation. Waste leaves on consignment notes.
Asbestos Removal in Ashford: FAQs
As a landlord in Ashford, what asbestos duties do I actually have?
The duty to manage under CAR 2012 covers common parts such as shared halls, stairs and boiler rooms rather than the interior of a single let house, but you still have general health and safety duties towards anyone doing maintenance work. In practice most landlords commission a management survey at around £200 to £300 so contractors have a register to work from. Anything intrusive, like a kitchen replacement, needs a refurbishment survey first.
How much does removing an asbestos garage roof in Ashford cost?
A standard single garage in corrugated asbestos cement is usually £380 to £550, rising towards £800 for a double garage or a job with poor access. Cement is non-licensed so the HSE does not need to be notified, but sheets must be removed whole, wrapped and consigned to a licensed disposal site. You should receive a waste consignment note as your record.
Do I need a licensed contractor to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material. High-risk items like pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and asbestos insulating board need an HSE-licensed contractor. Lower-risk items such as cement sheets and floor tiles can be removed under non-licensed controls. We are licensed for both and will tell you which applies.
Can I stay in the property during removal?
For small non-licensed jobs, often yes, with the work area sealed off. For licensed removal inside the home we usually recommend vacating the affected zone until the clearance certificate is issued. We plan the safest sequence around you.
