What we deal with in Dawesgreen
Most problems come during renovation: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings before skimming
If you’re refurbishing flats near Betchworth station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.

Common questions in Dawesgreen
Could my house in Dawesgreen contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Dawesgreen may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work in Dawesgreen?
Yes, we do: Dawesgreen is within the area we cover in Surrey. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
What affects the price in Dawesgreen
What changes the cost:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Travel and parking
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What to photograph
What to photograph:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Approximate dimensions
- An overall view
- Damaged areas
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 to get started.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
What we do and do not cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Coated plasterboard

Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
