Many black, heavy resin toilet cisterns installed before 2000 were manufactured using asbestos-reinforced materials, commonly found in older Surrey properties, outhouses, and commercial washrooms.
We visit your property free of charge within the same week, inspect the cistern, assess its composition and condition, and confirm whether controlled removal is required.

FAQS
No, breaking or smashing an asbestos-containing cistern releases respirable asbestos fibres and violates the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. Asbestos waste must be removed intact, packaged in compliant bags, and transported to an HSE-approved licensed disposal facility. It cannot be disposed of in a standard skip or general waste facility.
Yes, our operatives safely disconnect the cistern from the water supply and any associated pipework before any removal attempt is made. Disconnection is carried out as part of the removal process and is included in the fixed written quote. You do not need to arrange a separate plumber prior to the job.
Visual identification alone is not reliable for confirming whether a cistern contains asbestos. Black, moulded, or heavy resin cisterns installed before 2000 are the most likely to contain asbestos-reinforced materials, but laboratory testing is the only definitive method of confirmation. Our free survey includes an assessment and, where required, a sample can be submitted to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis.
In most cases, asbestos toilet cistern removal falls into the non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work category under HSE regulations. A full HSE asbestos removal licence is not required, but the work must still be carried out by a UKATA-trained operative following approved HSE procedures. We confirm the exact category at the free survey stage before any quote is issued.
No. An asbestos-containing cistern is classified as hazardous waste under the Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005 and cannot be placed in a skip, a general waste bin, or taken to a standard household recycling centre. All asbestos waste must be double-bagged in compliant packaging and transported to an HSE-approved licensed disposal facility. We handle the full collection and disposal process on every job.
No, you do not need to isolate the water supply before our operative arrives. Our UKATA (UK Asbestos Training Association)-trained team safely isolates and disconnects all water supply and outlet pipework as part of the removal process, which is fully included in your fixed written quote. We confirm any access requirements at the time of booking.
Most asbestos toilet cistern removal jobs across Surrey are completed within a single visit of 2 to 3 hours, including safe disconnection, intact removal, double-bagging, and site clearance. We confirm the expected duration in your fixed written quote before any work begins so you can plan your day accordingly.
An intact cistern in good condition that has not been struck, drilled, or damaged carries a low immediate risk during normal use. However, we recommend avoiding any activity that could cause impact or damage to the cistern before removal takes place. If the cistern is already cracked or deteriorating, contact us promptly and we will arrange a same-week survey.
