Asbestos survey near Claygate
We survey the whole building or just the areas you’re working on, whichever fits your plans in Claygate. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. From public and community buildings and buying a property built before 2000, we deal with pipe lagging, water tanks and textured ceilings.
In a smaller place like Claygate, surveys are often for family homes before renovation, with garages and outbuildings included, because cement sheet roofs are common on older garages. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

FAQs for Claygate
Could my house in Claygate 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 Claygate can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Claygate?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Who needs a management survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings typically starts with one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Is a survey needed before building work in Claygate?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Your options compared

The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

What’s included, and what isn’t
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we see
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What it might be made of
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, which is why sampling matters.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
