Asbestos help in Munstead Heath
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- What the material is and its state
- How big the building is
- The type of survey you need
- How many samples are needed
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- Labels, if any
- Street parking nearby
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Approximate dimensions
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Weighing up your options
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. Our guide explains which you need. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Questions from Munstead Heath
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Munstead Heath?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What does the survey report include?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
That depends on what you are planning: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Describe the work and we will recommend one.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Do you cover Munstead Heath?
Yes, we do: our area includes Munstead Heath and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.

What we do and do not cover
So you know what to expect:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
