Do you work near Milford (Surrey) station?
Yes. Milford (Surrey) station is about 0.7 miles south-east of Mousehill, and we cover both.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.

What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote after testing.

Duty holders and landlords in Mousehill
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Looking after things afterwards
Covered coatings should be recorded.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep pets out of the work area
- File the test result and waste note
- Send photos of the coatings
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
Things not to do
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
