For anyone responsible for a non-domestic property in Dorking – whether it's an office, shop, factory, or communal area in flats – there's a legal duty to manage asbestos. The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012) states you must identify and manage any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) to protect workers and visitors. Our thorough asbestos management surveys are designed to help you meet this critical requirement. We meticulously inspect your Dorking property, locate any ACMs, assess their condition, and then provide you with a detailed report and asbestos register. This isn't just a tick-box exercise; it's a vital step for the health and safety of everyone who uses your premises, giving you a clear plan for safe asbestos management.

When dealing with something as serious as asbestos, you need a company you can completely trust. At Southern Asbestos, we pride ourselves on delivering a safe, reliable, and transparent service from your first call to the completion of the job. We carry full Public Liability Insurance, and every piece of work follows strict HSE guidelines. We also hold a valid Waste Carriers Licence, so you can be sure all asbestos waste from your Dorking property is handled and disposed of legally and responsibly. Our local technicians are highly trained and have years of hands-on experience identifying, managing, and removing ACMs from all sorts of buildings, offering you complete peace of mind and expert advice every step of the way. We also provide clear, detailed quotes upfront, so you always know what to expect.

We offer a complete range of asbestos services to manage this hazardous material safely and effectively in any property type throughout Dorking and Surrey.

• Asbestos Surveys and Inspections: Getting the right information is the crucial first step. We conduct essential Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys, Management Surveys for compliance, and intrusive Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys before any construction work. We also offer re-inspections to keep your asbestos register up to date.
• Asbestos Testing and Laboratory Analysis: If you’ve found a material you suspect contains asbestos, please do not disturb it. Our team can safely take a sample and send it to a UKAS-accredited laboratory, providing you with a definitive result and certificate. We frequently test materials like textured coatings (Artex), asbestos cement, floor tiles, and insulation boards.
• Safe Asbestos Removal: This is at the heart of what we do. Our trained team follows strict procedures to contain the area, safely remove non-licensed asbestos, and leave your Dorking property clean and secure. We expertly handle domestic removals from garages and sheds, commercial removals from offices, and large-scale industrial projects like factory roofing.
• Asbestos Collection and Disposal: If you've already had asbestos carefully removed, we can arrange professional collection. We make sure it's properly wrapped, transported, and disposed of at a licensed hazardous waste facility, giving you all the necessary legal paperwork.
• Asbestos Encapsulation and Reinstatement: Sometimes, if asbestos is in good condition, we can seal or enclose it to prevent fibre release – a cost-effective management solution. After removal, we can also carry out reinstatement work, replacing roofs, ceilings, or flooring to return your space to normal.
