Industrial Asbestos Removal in Surrey, London and the Home Counties

Asbestos is still a common issue in older industrial buildings across Surrey, London and the surrounding areas – but any site built before 2000 is at risk.

At Goodbye Asbestos, we specialise in safe, fully compliant asbestos removal for industrial environments. We regularly work in factories, warehouses and processing plants where asbestos remains in roofing, insulation systems, wall panels and plant rooms. Our focus is simple: protect your people, keep you compliant, and avoid unnecessary disruption to your operations.

Where asbestos is typically found in industrial sites

In industrial settings, asbestos was used heavily for its strength and fire resistance. Over time, these materials can deteriorate or be disturbed during routine maintenance, refurbishments and upgrades, and through everyday wear and tear.

Asbestos can be commonly found in:

Corrugated cement roof sheets
Pipe lagging and boiler insulation
Spray coatings on structural steel
Asbestos insulating board (AIB) walls and partitions
Ceiling tiles and fire protection systems
Gaskets, seals and older machinery components

If these materials are damaged or disturbed, they can release harmful fibres. That’s why proper identification and controlled removal is essential.

"Very professional and friendly service. Initialy spoke with Andy who gave us a quote and date for the work to be done. Chris and Jeff arrived on time and completely removed our garage although it was pouring with rain. They cleared all the rubbish and left the area clean. Would thoughly recomend this company. Work carried out in Crawley, West Sussex."

Alan Barrett
"Removed an asbestos garage roof, whole shed with asbestos roof, and then when there was further asbestos at the end of the garden took that too. Worked very hard solidly for two hours, loaded sheets, wore masks and suits. Great service and solved a big problem for me."

Elizabeth Anderson
"I had 40 sqm of aertex ceiling removed in my house and the price came out as reasonable (particularly against 3 other quotes I had for the job). The job was completed in one day which I was chuffed with and the guys made sure that the house was safe for us to live in afterwards. Very happy with Goodbye Asbestos, would highly recommend."

Olivia Lands
"I had my asbestos water tank removed from my loft in Croydon. Chris did a great job. They had about a weeks lead time. I needed this done ASAP and they were able to prioritise it and we booked it in next day. Thanks to Andy"

Danny Williams
"Goodbye Asbestos provided a very polite and professional service on a pre-purchase where a suspicious material was identified by a surveyor. Tom gave us a quick turn around and timeframe and kept us updated throughout the process. Would highly recommend for a no fuss experience!"

Elizabeth Packham
"Great service, friendly staff and competitive price. The asbestos was picked up by a diligent worker who came back and checked that there were no small bits on the ground. That really impressed me. Would recommend."

James Goldbridge
"On finding Marley tiles on our floors we were in urgent need of having them removed. Goodbye Asbestos were amazing. They booked us in really quickly and on time, came and scraped up all the offending tiles and gripper rods. They disposed of the rubbish and sealed the under floor, leaving us ready for the laying of our new flooring. A job well done."

Paul Tootill
"I have asked Goodbye Asbestos to remove my asbestos roof and replace it with insulated corrugated metal panels. I recommend them highly as I am very pleased with the quality of their workmanship, their attentive service and communications."

Stefano Ferrari
"I have used Goodbye Asbestos twice, once removing an old asbestos shed and recently my large garage which had an asbestos roof. The guys are efficient, clean and friendly. All wear the appropriate clothing whilst handling the asbestos. Organising the quote and the demolition was easy. I'd highly recommend Goodbye Asbestos for any Asbestos removal you may require."

Callum Stott
"I wanted to say a big thank you to Chris and the team for the superb job they did this morning in dismantling our horrible old asbestos/concrete garage! It was all done very quickly and professionally. They wore PPE and the asbestos roof panels were securely wrapped in plastic sheeting. The site was left clean and tidy afterwards. I also appreciated your sending me your waste licence and a copy of your insurance which was very reassuring as one reads some horror stories about waste disposal cowboys."

Why industrial asbestos removal needs specialist teams

Industrial projects come with challenges you don’t get in smaller buildings. You’re often dealing with large structures, complex layouts and active work environments.

Typical challenges include:

Working at height or in confined plant areas
Managing asbestos around live machinery
Coordinating with strict site safety systems
Handling large volumes of hazardous waste
Keeping disruption to a minimum

Our team is trained specifically for this type of work, and we plan projects carefully so everything is carried out safely, efficiently and in line with current regulations.

Keeping your site running during asbestos removal

Shutting down operations isn’t always practical – and in many cases, it’s avoidable.

We work closely with site managers and contractors to plan removal around your workload. That might mean working during shutdown periods, outside normal hours, or phasing the work so key areas stay operational.
