Questions from Epsom Downs
Could my house in Epsom Downs contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Epsom Downs may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Epsom Downs?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Epsom Downs?
Yes, Epsom Downs is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is typically a short job, though access and condition affect it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.

Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Epsom Downs must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Where asbestos turns up
Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.
In older properties, we often see:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garages in a row or block
- Garage conversions
- Lean-tos and carports
In Epsom Downs, many garages and sheds were added decades ago.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
