Safe Asbestos Removal in Surbiton, KT6
Check Suspect Materials Before Intrusive Work in Surbiton
Older Surbiton properties may contain asbestos-cement products, textured coatings, floor materials, asbestos insulation board, flues or thermal insulation. Property age, neighbourhood and appearance cannot confirm asbestos or establish local prevalence.
Before drilling, cutting, refurbishment or demolition, make sure the asbestos information is adequate for the affected area. Where it is not, use the appropriate survey or sampling route with the provider, competence evidence and scope confirmed for the individual instruction.
When Should You Check the Asbestos Work Route?
Before Renovation or Demolition
Make sure the asbestos information is adequate for the areas the work will disturb. Use the appropriate refurbishment or demolition survey route where existing information is insufficient.
After Damage or Disturbance
Avoid further disturbance and arrange competent assessment. Damage alone does not establish the fibre level or decide whether the task is non-licensed, NNLW or licensable.
Before Garage, Roof or Service Work
Confirm the material and planned method before cutting, dismantling or repair. Licensable work must be carried out by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Do Not Treat “Non-Licensed” as “No Controls Required”
Non-licensed asbestos work still requires competence, risk assessment, suitable controls and the correct waste route; NNLW carries additional duties. Sprayed asbestos coatings and asbestos thermal insulation such as pipe lagging require an HSE-licensed contractor, and most AIB removal is also licensable.

Removal, Management or Specialist Contractor Route?
