Asbestos survey for Camberley properties
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. In Camberley, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. From demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and public and community buildings, we cover water tanks, garage roofs and floor tiles.
Town-centre shops and offices in Camberley are non-domestic premises with a duty to manage asbestos, and homes nearby need surveys before work. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Step by step
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you are planning
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You get the report, and we talk you through it
Getting ready
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere

What we deal with in Camberley
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building, which is why surveys are systematic.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
For a school like Prior Heath Infant School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

The scope of an asbestos survey
So you know what to expect:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, 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
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- The number of materials to sample
- Material and condition
- The survey type
- Access to the area
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- An idea of size
- Damaged areas
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Street parking nearby
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Book the survey before you book builders
Things not to do
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Camberley
Could my house in Camberley contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Camberley can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Camberley station?
Yes, we cover Camberley and the area towards Camberley station, about 0.7 miles west.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
It’s usually needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too, to know what’s there before work.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you are about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. We will recommend one when you tell us what you’re planning.

Choosing the right option
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment normally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
