Asbestos survey for Bellfields
Bellfields: your questions answered
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is asbestos common in Bellfields homes?
Any home in Bellfields built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
What does the survey report include?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t typically sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
How asbestos survey works in Bellfields
Our surveys in Bellfields cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. We often deal with floor tiles, pipe lagging and water tanks, and typical jobs are public and community buildings and surveys requested by builders before work.
In Bellfields, we often survey a house together with its garage, sheds and lean-tos, since those are where cement sheet roofs tend to be. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Avoid these
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.

Weighing up your options
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is typically cheaper in the end. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

For businesses and landlords in Bellfields
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Bellfields must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
The process
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you are planning
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
How to prepare
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Tell us about parking and access

Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, 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
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
