For landlords, agents and businesses
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Mimbridge, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

Mimbridge questions
Do textured ceilings in Mimbridge homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Do you work near Woking station?
Yes, we cover Mimbridge and the area towards Woking station, about 1.8 miles south-east.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Generally you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used

- Other materials may need their own approach
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

- The survey scope
- The quantity or area
- Licensed or non-licensed
