Asbestos help in Ansteadbrook
Ansteadbrook: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Ansteadbrook?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How many samples will I need?
One for each different material, and sometimes more where the same material is in several places. We will advise when you tell us what you’re testing.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.

Materials, one by one
Flues and tanks
Flues and tanks are often asbestos cement.
Boards and panels
If it’s insulating board, most work on it is licensed, so the result matters.
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what asbestos testing covers, and what it does not:
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
