What we do and do not cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
Weighing up your options
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
What you get
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Accredited laboratory results

DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
What to avoid
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
FAQs for Cudworth
Do you cover small places like Cudworth?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.
