Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Buckland, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

What it might be made of
Ceiling roses and cornices
Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Looking after things afterwards
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Test every different coating
- Give us room sizes
What to avoid
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Buckland questions
Do you cover Buckland and the area around Betchworth station?
Yes, we cover Buckland and the area towards Betchworth station, about 0.6 miles north-west.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
