Typical materials include gutters and downpipes, cement soffits and water tanks, and people usually contact us about outbuildings with cement roofs and broken sheets in gardens.

A closer look at the materials

Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
FAQs for Munstead Heath
Do you cover Munstead Heath and the area around Godalming station?
Yes. Godalming station is about 1.5 miles north-west of Munstead Heath, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Munstead Heath have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Munstead Heath can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How we price asbestos removal
We base our quote on:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

- Where we could park
- Visible markings
- A wide shot showing where the material is

Good to know

- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

DIY and asbestos
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.
