About our asbestos survey in Christmas Pie
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. In Christmas Pie, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. We often deal with soffits, floor tiles and textured ceilings, and people usually contact us about checks on rental property and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings.
Village surveys around Christmas Pie can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Common questions in Christmas Pie
Is asbestos common in Christmas Pie homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Christmas Pie?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
We do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Can I do it myself?
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.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

After the job
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Some practical advice:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
What to avoid
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Common reasons for surveys in Christmas Pie
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. That’s why so many buildings in Surrey can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Demolition projects
- Surveys requested by builders before work
If you’re a landlord near Wanborough station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
