What we deal with in Mimbridge
Over time, materials deteriorate: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, and the survey assesses condition.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Checks on rental property
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Demolition projects
Planning work on an older building in Mimbridge, whether near Church of St Lawrence or elsewhere? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.

Duty holders and landlords in Mimbridge

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Common questions in Mimbridge
Do you work near Woking station?
Yes, we cover Mimbridge and the area towards Woking station, about 1.8 miles south-east.
How far is Mimbridge from London?
We cover Mimbridge, about 24 miles from central London.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Is a survey needed before building work in Mimbridge?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.

A survey or a sample test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
A closer look at the materials
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
After the job
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Going forward:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Avoid these
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Garage and shed roofs
