Asbestos survey near Churt
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Asbestos survey near Churt
If a building in Churt dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. From public and community buildings and pre-work surveys for trades, we cover pipe lagging, water tanks and floor tiles.
Village properties around Churt often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Choosing the right option
The cheapest survey is not always the best value. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, so you are comparing like with like. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Surveys around Churt
Churt is about 5 miles south of Farnham, in Surrey. If your survey is in Churt, let us know about access when you get in touch. Churt is one of 395 places in Surrey where we work. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 12 miles away.
Schools such as St John's CofE Aided Infant School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is normally where that starts. If you have an older property in Churt, near St John the Evangelist or anywhere else, the rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive. Churt is within about 3 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, and rural properties there often have outbuildings worth including in a survey.

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos materials often look exactly like ones without asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Public and community buildings
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
If you manage lettings around Haslemere station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.

Helpful guides
Looking after things afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Keeping things safe:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Avoid these
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
How we price an asbestos survey

Churt questions
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Churt?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you cover small places like Churt?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Do you cover Churt?
We do: our area includes Churt and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
