Asbestos Disposal Thames Ditton

Licensed asbestos disposal across Thames Ditton, Long Ditton, Weston Green, Hinchley Wood and the KT7 postcodes. Skip hire, RoRo and van collection with transparent pricing and full Duty of Care paperwork.

Asbestos disposal across Thames Ditton and Long Ditton

Thames Ditton and the neighbouring villages have a wide mix of older housing — Victorian and Edwardian riverside properties, inter-war and post-war semis across Weston Green, Long Ditton and Hinchley Wood, and older cottages near the village centre and Giggs Hill Green. Garage roofs, soffits, flue pipes, Artex ceilings, pipe lagging and old boilers in these properties commonly contain asbestos that needs safe, legal disposal.

The Waste Group arranges licensed asbestos disposal across Thames Ditton and the KT postcode range, fulfilled through our accredited national disposal partner. Because that partner operates the largest asbestos waste transfer station in the South East, this part of Surrey is one of our most competitively-priced asbestos zones — cheaper than the same job on our Dorset home patch. Depending on the quantity of asbestos, you can book van collection for small domestic jobs, an asbestos skip for medium-sized jobs, or a RoRo container for larger commercial clearances. Every booking includes the Waste Consignment Note and Duty of Care paperwork required for legal disposal.

Do you need asbestos removal or asbestos disposal?

These are two different services and the difference matters:

Asbestos removal means stripping asbestos out of a building. For most asbestos types this must be done by an HSE-licensed removal contractor. We do not provide this service.
Asbestos disposal means taking away asbestos that has already been removed, bagged or wrapped. This is what we do.

If you have loose garage roof sheets, broken ceiling tiles, bags of material from a roofer, or an old boiler flue that has already been taken out — you need disposal. Call us on 01202 247716.

If the asbestos is still attached to the building and needs stripping out, you will need a licensed removal contractor first. We can then dispose of what they bag.

Asbestos skip hire in Thames Ditton

Asbestos skip hire is the right choice for medium-sized jobs — tradespeople clearing a domestic project, commercial property owners, landlords working through multiple garages, or builders on an extension or conversion. Asbestos skips are supplied sealed and compliant with hazardous waste regulations, and are collected directly for licensed disposal.

We supply three asbestos skip sizes across Thames Ditton and the KT postcodes:

6 yard open asbestos skip — suitable for small to medium loads such as a single garage roof strip or a boiler room clearance.
12 yard open asbestos skip — for larger domestic clearances or a small commercial job.
16 yard enclosed asbestos skip — fully enclosed and recommended where visible containment is required, for example on roadside jobs or commercial sites.

All skip sizes include 2 tonnes of asbestos waste. Additional tonnage is charged at the rate shown below. Thames Ditton falls within our Zone 1–3 pricing area — the South East — which is our lowest-cost asbestos zone.

Asbestos skip hire Thames Ditton — prices

Skip size	Includes	Price (inc VAT)
6 yard open	Up to 2 tonnes	£2,167
12 yard open	Up to 2 tonnes	£2,167
16 yard enclosed	Up to 2 tonnes	£2,167
Excess tonnage	Per tonne	£396
Admin fee	Per booking	£50

All prices include VAT. Waiting time over 30 minutes and out-of-hours call-out charges apply in line with our standard terms. A skip permit may be required for placement on a public road — confirm access at the time of booking.

Call 01202 247716 for an asbestos skip hire quote.

Asbestos RoRo hire in Thames Ditton

Roll-on roll-off containers are the right choice for larger asbestos clearances — demolition projects, multi-property landlord clearances, commercial units around Sandown Park and the Esher and Surbiton estates, or full building strip-outs. RoRos need good vehicle access, so they are ideal for yards and larger sites rather than narrow residential streets.

We supply three asbestos RoRo sizes across the area:

20 yard open RoRo — for medium-to-large loads where an open-top container works on site.
40 yard open RoRo — for the largest commercial and demolition jobs.
35 yard enclosed RoRo — fully enclosed, required for some site permits and highly recommended for any job where visible containment matters.

All RoRo sizes include 3 tonnes of asbestos waste. Additional tonnage is charged as shown. Thames Ditton falls within Zone 1–3 — our lowest-cost asbestos pricing area.

Asbestos RoRo hire Thames Ditton — prices

RoRo size	Includes	Price (inc VAT)
20 yard open	Up to 3 tonnes	£2,599
40 yard open	Up to 3 tonnes	£2,599
35 yard enclosed	Up to 3 tonnes	£2,599
Excess tonnage	Per tonne	£396

All prices include VAT. Admin fee and standard terms apply.

Call 01202 247716 for an asbestos RoRo hire quote.

Asbestos van collection for Thames Ditton homeowners

Van collection is the right option for smaller domestic jobs — a couple of garage roof sheets, an old Artex ceiling stash, a removed boiler flue, or a few bags left by a roofer. You package the asbestos to specification, we send a van to Thames Ditton, our driver loads it, and you receive your Waste Consignment Note.

Residents can take small amounts of bonded asbestos to a Surrey Community Recycling Centre by booking ahead, but only within limits. Van collection makes sense when you have more than the CRC limit, non-bonded asbestos types the centre won’t take, waste from a rental or commercial property, or when you simply don’t want to transport hazardous material in your own vehicle.

How it works

Package the asbestos. Whole sheets (max 6ft × 3ft, up to 25kg each) wrapped in 1000-gauge polythene. Smaller pieces double-bagged in red asbestos bags, max 15kg per bag.
Book the collection. Call us on 01202 247716 with your item count and postcode. We will confirm a collection day, usually within 3 to 5 working days.
Driver collects. Our driver arrives, loads the material, and issues your Waste Consignment Note on the spot.
Licensed disposal. The asbestos is transported under ADR regulations to a licensed hazardous waste facility.

Asbestos van collection Thames Ditton — prices

Item	Price (inc VAT)
Transport charge	£245
Per bag (10–15 kg)	£11.05
Per sheet or wrap (20–25 kg)	£22.35
Per door or boiler (30 kg)	£46.10
Consignment note	£50

Typical Thames Ditton van collection costs

Small garage roof — 10 cement sheets already wrapped: £245 transport + (10 × £22.35) + £50 consignment note = £518.50 inc VAT
Old boiler flue and 4 bags of Artex rubble: £245 + £46.10 + (4 × £11.05) + £50 = £385.30 inc VAT
Large double garage roof — 20 sheets wrapped: £245 + (20 × £22.35) + £50 = £742 inc VAT

All prices include VAT. Waste that exceeds standard item weights is subject to additional charges. If the total load exceeds 1 tonne, a second collection may be required.

How to prepare asbestos safely for collection

Whether you are hiring a skip, a RoRo or booking a van collection, asbestos must be packaged correctly before our driver arrives. This protects you, our driver, and anyone handling the waste at the disposal facility.

Do not break sheets or sand surfaces — keep all material as intact as possible. Broken edges release fibres.
Wrap whole sheets in 1000-gauge polythene. Standard sheets are 6ft × 3ft and up to 25kg each.
Double-bag smaller pieces in red asbestos bags. Bags must not exceed 15kg.
Label clearly with asbestos warning markings on bags and wrapped sheets.
Dampen material lightly with water to reduce dust. Do not soak it.
Wear proper PPE — disposable coveralls, FFP3 mask, gloves, goggles. Dispose of used PPE with the asbestos in a sealed bag.
If you are not confident handling it, hire a licensed removal contractor. We will dispose of what they bag.

For detailed guidance on safe handling, see the HSE asbestos essentials guide.

Fully licensed disposal with full Duty of Care paperwork

The Waste Group’s asbestos disposal service is fulfilled through our national disposal partner — a market-leading asbestos waste specialist operating since 2000, with the largest asbestos waste transfer station in the South East of England. For Thames Ditton that infrastructure is close to home, which is exactly why the area sits in our lowest pricing zone. Every collection runs through accredited infrastructure and qualified drivers.

Every asbestos booking includes the legal paperwork required to prove your asbestos has been disposed of lawfully:

Waste Consignment Note (HWCN) — legally required for all hazardous waste movement. Issued on collection.
Licensed waste carrier — our disposal partner holds full Environment Agency waste carrier registration.
ADR-regulated transport — asbestos is moved under dangerous goods regulations by ADR-qualified drivers.
Licensed hazardous waste facility — asbestos is taken to a permitted asbestos waste transfer station, then to licensed landfill cells. Final disposal certificate available on request.
Industry accreditations — our disposal partner is ARCA-accredited, FORS Silver certified, and an ESA and NFDC member.
Both cement-bonded and fibrous asbestos accepted — including AIB, pipe lagging, Artex, boiler insulation and contaminated soil, not just cement sheets.

Can a recycling centre near Thames Ditton take your asbestos?

Thames Ditton is in the borough of Elmbridge, served by Surrey County Council’s Community Recycling Centres. Surrey residents can take small amounts of bonded (cement) asbestos to a Surrey CRC — but only by booking an appointment in advance, and only within strict limits.

What Surrey CRCs will accept

Bonded (cement) asbestos only — no Artex, pipe lagging, AIB or insulation
By pre-booked appointment through Surrey County Council — you cannot just turn up
Double-wrapped in heavy-duty polythene and sealed
Limited to a set quantity per visit; you transport it there yourself

When you will need a licensed collection instead

You have non-bonded asbestos — Artex, pipe lagging, AIB, boiler insulation or floor tiles. The CRC will not take these; we will.
You have more than the CRC per-visit limit.
You don’t want to transport hazardous waste in your own vehicle.
The waste is from a commercial property, a rental you let out, or any income-generating work.

Asbestos disposal Thames Ditton — frequently asked questions

How much does asbestos disposal cost in Thames Ditton?

Thames Ditton falls within our Zone 1–3 pricing area — London and the South East — which is our lowest-cost zone. Van collection starts at £245 transport plus £22.35 per sheet or £11.05 per bag. An asbestos skip (6, 12 or 16 yard) is £2,167 inc VAT including up to 2 tonnes, and a RoRo is £2,599 inc VAT including 3 tonnes. Every job includes the Waste Consignment Note. Call 01202 247716 for a fixed quote.

Can I take asbestos to a recycling centre near Thames Ditton?

Surrey County Council allows residents to take small amounts of bonded (cement) asbestos to a Community Recycling Centre, but only by booking an appointment in advance and within strict quantity limits. Non-bonded types such as Artex, pipe lagging and insulation are not accepted, and you must transport the hazardous material yourself. For those types, larger quantities, or commercial waste, a licensed collection is the practical choice.

Can I put asbestos in a regular skip?

No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must never be mixed with general waste. If asbestos is found in a standard skip, the whole load is treated as hazardous and charged at hazardous waste rates. Asbestos must go in a sealed asbestos skip or be collected by van, and must always be accompanied by a Waste Consignment Note.

What types of asbestos do you accept?

Both cement-bonded and non-bonded (fibrous) asbestos — including AIB (asbestos insulating board), Artex, pipe lagging, boiler insulation, floor tiles and contaminated soil, not just cement sheets. This is a key difference from Surrey’s recycling centres, which accept bonded cement asbestos only.

Do I need a licence to dispose of asbestos from my own home?

Householders do not need a waste carrier licence to dispose of asbestos from their own property, but the disposal itself must go through a licensed carrier and be accompanied by a Waste Consignment Note. Our service provides both, so your disposal is fully documented and legal.

How quickly can you collect asbestos in Thames Ditton?

Most van collections in Thames Ditton can be booked within 3 to 5 working days. Skip and RoRo deliveries typically take 2 to 3 working days from booking. Call 01202 247716 to check current availability.
