Asbestos in Leatherhead
Leatherhead is a Surrey commuter town on the Mole, with a historic core, Victorian and Edwardian housing, interwar suburbs and mid-century research and office campuses. Its older homes, institutional buildings and 1960s-70s additions commonly contain artex, asbestos insulating board, lagging and asbestos cement garages and outbuildings.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Leatherhead 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 Leatherhead: FAQs
Do I need a survey before refurbishing a Leatherhead property?
Yes — work that disturbs a pre-2000 Leatherhead building needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first. It identifies AIB, artex and lagging before walls come down and is a legal requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations.
What does an asbestos survey cost in Leatherhead?
A management survey for a typical home starts from around £200, with single samples from £50 to £80. We confirm pricing before attending across Leatherhead and the surrounding KT 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.
