Asbestos Removal in Sunbury-on-Thames
For safe, compliant asbestos removal in Sunbury-on-Thames, our HSE-licensed and non-licensed teams handle everything from a single garage roof to a full strip-out across Surrey.
Asbestos in Sunbury-on-Thames
Sunbury spans the older riverside village, extensive 1930s suburban development around Sunbury Common and Kempton, and large post-war estates towards Hanworth and the reservoirs. The interwar and post-war housing carries the standard combination of cement garage and outbuilding roofs, soffits, downpipes and flues, Artex ceilings, and insulating board to airing cupboards and boiler recesses. Many houses have been extended and had garages rebuilt, so cement sheeting removal is a frequent job. Business parks and light-industrial units along the Staines Road East add commercial management surveys before fit-out and reroofing works.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Sunbury-on-Thames 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 Sunbury-on-Thames: FAQs
Can you survey and remove in one visit in Sunbury?
Surveying and removal are deliberately kept as separate stages so the assessment is independent of the removal work, and the laboratory analysis takes time to return. A single sample is £50 to £80 and a domestic management survey £200 to £300, with removal quoted once the results are known. A straightforward garage roof, for example, is generally £380 to £800 including licensed disposal.
Is the Artex on my 1930s Sunbury ceiling a problem if we're skimming over it?
Overboarding or skimming without abrading the surface is usually low risk, but sanding or scraping it is not, and that is where problems arise. Textured coatings are non-licensed work, so they can be removed under controlled conditions without HSE notification. Test a sample first at £50 to £80 so your plasterer knows what they are working over.
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.
