For businesses and landlords in Tyler's Green
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
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.
How asbestos testing works in Tyler's Green
If you’ve got a ceiling, floor or roof in Tyler's Green you’re not sure about, testing a sample settles the question. A clear result means you can carry on; a positive one means planning the work properly. From single materials in rented homes between tenancies and tiles found under carpet, we deal with garage roof sheets, flue pipes and panels behind heaters.
In areas like Tyler's Green, outbuildings and farm buildings are common testing jobs, where cement sheet roofs and cladding were often used. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Your questions about asbestos testing in Tyler's Green
Do older homes in Tyler's Green have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Tyler's Green can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Tyler's Green and the area around Caterham station?
Yes. Caterham station is about 1.9 miles north of Tyler's Green, and we cover both.
Do I need more than one sample?
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 are testing.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you cover Tyler's Green?

How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Weighing up your options
Testing or a survey? Testing checks the materials you’re worried about; a survey checks the whole building or work area. Small jobs usually just need a test. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
