Asbestos Removal in Esher (KT10)

Esher sits in Elmbridge, between Sandown Park, Esher Common and the National Trust gardens at Claremont, and much of its housing was built when asbestos was a normal building material. Many of the larger interwar and post-war homes here were built with asbestos cement garage and outbuilding roofs, and properties from the 1960s and 1970s were often finished with Artex ceilings and vinyl floor tiles that can contain it. We cover Esher itself along with Claygate, Hinchley Wood, Weston Green and Thames Ditton nearby.

Clearaway Asbestos is a licensed asbestos removal contractor (Licence No. 142305706) based in Long Ditton near Esher, known for garage-roof and domestic asbestos removal across Surrey, South London and Sussex.

The Health and Safety Executive reports that asbestos remains the greatest cause of work-related deaths in Great Britain, with around 5,000 asbestos-related deaths a year. That is why an intact asbestos roof or ceiling is best left alone and removed properly, not drilled, sanded or broken up.

Esher is not a town where one generic asbestos page fits. The housing is weighted towards larger detached and period homes with substantial garages and outbuildings, so garage and outbuilding roofs are a far more common job here than in a town of small terraces. Parts of Esher fall within Elmbridge Borough Council conservation areas, which can affect how outbuildings and roofs are altered and replaced, so it pays to use a contractor who works locally and knows the constraints. And the mix of long-established family homes means a steady flow of renovation and probate sales where asbestos is found mid-project, in a garage, a loft or under a floor, when work is already underway and time matters.

If you are buying, selling or renovating in Esher, an asbestos survey before work starts saves the disruption of finding it halfway through, and gives you a clear record to hand to a buyer, a builder or a managing agent.
