Asbestos help in Mickleham
Asbestos survey in Mickleham
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey covers a building in everyday use, while a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before work starts. We’ll tell you which suits your plans in Mickleham. Typical jobs include refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and purchases of older homes and buildings, including water tanks, boiler cupboard panels and textured ceilings.
Village surveys around Mickleham can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

DIY and asbestos
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.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
Mickleham questions
Do you work near Box Hill & Westhumble station?
Yes, we cover Mickleham and the area towards Box Hill & Westhumble station, about 1.2 miles south.
Is asbestos common in Mickleham homes?
If your home in Mickleham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.

Other services in Mickleham
After we’ve finished in Mickleham
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Keeping things safe:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
What to avoid
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
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.

Choosing the right option
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is generally cheaper in the end. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Covering London and the South East
