Asbestos survey for Boundstone properties
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, depending on what you need. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. Typical materials include garage roofs, soffits and floor tiles, and people typically contact us about demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and surveys requested by builders before work.
In Boundstone, we often survey a house together with its garage, sheds and lean-tos, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

The scope of an asbestos survey
So you know what to expect:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

Materials, one by one
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
FAQs for Boundstone
How far is Boundstone from London?
We cover Boundstone, about 38 miles from central London.
Do you work near Farnham station?
Yes. Farnham station is about 1.7 miles north-east of Boundstone, and we cover both.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Looking after things afterwards
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
Avoid these
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Step by step
The surveyor photographs and records each material’s condition, for the report. The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you’re planning
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope

Preparing for the visit
