Questions from South Merstham
Could my house in South Merstham contain asbestos?
If your home in South Merstham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is South Merstham from London?
South Merstham is about 17 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you work in South Merstham?
Yes. We cover South Merstham and the surrounding area as part of Surrey. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.

Read our prices page and published price ranges.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in South Merstham must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Typical removal jobs in South Merstham
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
These come up again and again:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Artex before plastering
- Garage roof sheets
- Floor tiles before a new floor
For non-domestic buildings like Merstham Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
