Why people call us in Brooklands
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. A survey is the usual way to do that.
Typical jobs in Brooklands include:
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Public and community buildings
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
Schools such as Heathside School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
What your quote should include
- The scope, in writing
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Whether extra samples cost more
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
Asbestos survey for Brooklands properties
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Brooklands, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Typical materials include boiler cupboard panels, pipe lagging and flues, and people typically contact us about purchases of older homes and buildings and surveys requested by builders before work.
Brooklands has a mix of older and newer homes, and anything altered before 2000 may contain asbestos. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

- Location, parking and any London charges

- An overall view
- An idea of size
- Street parking nearby
- Cracks or breaks
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Your options compared
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment generally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Why us?
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

After we’ve finished in Brooklands
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Keeping things safe:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Survey first, then book the trades
What to avoid
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
What happens
If a material is damaged, we will say so before we leave, so you can keep people away. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.

- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to the laboratory
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
Preparing for the visit

FAQs for Brooklands
Is asbestos common in Brooklands homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Brooklands can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Weybridge station?
Yes. Weybridge station is close to the centre of Brooklands, and we cover the whole area.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Who needs a management survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings normally starts with one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Brooklands?
That depends on what you’re planning: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Describe the work and we’ll recommend one.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.

Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
