Redhill: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings 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.
Do you cover Redhill from London?
We cover Redhill, about 18 miles from central London.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Should I use a home testing kit?
HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person, because sampling disturbs the material. If you’re unsure, ask us to take it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
After the job
A negative result means the material can be treated as normal.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Ask us if you are unsure whether you need a test or a survey
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
- Send photos of the material and where it is
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
Things not to do
Take photos from a safe distance, without touching the material.
Get the result before work is booked, so you can plan properly.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
A closer look at the materials
Cement sheets
Grey corrugated sheets on garages and sheds are a common request. A test confirms what the sheet is made of.
Roof felt and mastics
Older bitumen felts and mastics sometimes contain asbestos.
