Asbestos in Farnham
Farnham is an affluent Surrey market town known for its Georgian streets, former hop-growing and brewing trade, and surrounding interwar and post-war housing. Its older homes, former maltings and industrial buildings, and mid-century housing commonly contain artex, asbestos insulating board, lagging and asbestos cement garages and outbuildings.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Farnham properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

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.

Clear
An independent analyst runs the 4-stage clearance and issues the certificate of reoccupation. Waste leaves on consignment notes.
Asbestos Removal in Farnham: FAQs
Do I need a survey before renovating a period home in Farnham?
Yes — Farnham's Georgian and Victorian homes have usually been altered over the years, leaving artex, AIB and old floor tiles. A refurbishment and demolition survey before work is a legal requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations.
What does an asbestos survey cost in Farnham?
A management survey for a typical home starts from around £200, with single samples from £50 to £80. We confirm pricing before attending across Farnham and the surrounding GU postcodes.
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.
