South Merstham questions
My garage in South Merstham has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings 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.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Materials, one by one
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Keeping things safe:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Things not to do
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
