Asbestos help in Dawesgreen
What we do and don’t cover
So you know what to expect:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Asbestos survey in Dawesgreen
Whether you’re buying, renovating or letting in Dawesgreen, a survey answers the asbestos question. Our surveyor inspects, samples and records, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. Whether it’s community buildings and halls and rented homes due for maintenance, we cover garage roofs, water tanks and boiler cupboard panels.
Village surveys around Dawesgreen can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Avoid these
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Where asbestos turns up
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.
These are some of the things we deal with in Dawesgreen:
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Checks on rental property
- Public and community buildings
- Buying a property built before 2000

Common questions in Dawesgreen
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do older homes in Dawesgreen have asbestos?
If your home in Dawesgreen was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
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.
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 Dawesgreen?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Your options compared
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work.

Why choose us
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Each material’s condition recorded
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
How we work
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. We seal up each sample point. When we are done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you are planning
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- The surveyor inspects and takes samples
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Tell us about parking and access
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
