Asbestos survey in Deepcut
Whether you’re buying, renovating or letting in Deepcut, a survey answers the asbestos question. Our surveyor inspects, samples and records, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory. People often contact us about common parts of flats and HMOs and pre-work surveys for trades, involving soffits, boiler cupboard panels and textured ceilings.
In Deepcut, we often survey a house together with its garage, sheds and lean-tos, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

DIY and asbestos
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.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
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. See our guide to which survey you need. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why us?
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Clear next steps
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Accredited laboratory results

What else we do in Deepcut
Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and must be left alone in the meantime.
After the job
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Book the survey before booking builders
Things not to do
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.

How we price an asbestos survey
What drives the price:
- The survey type
- How much there is
- How big the building is
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
What to photograph
What to photograph:
- The access route
- A clear close-up
- An overall view
- Cracks or breaks
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials

For managing agents and freeholders in Deepcut, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Deepcut questions
Do you work near Farnborough North station?
Yes, we cover Deepcut and the area towards Farnborough North station, about 1.9 miles west.
Is asbestos common in Deepcut homes?
If your home in Deepcut was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Does a survey leave holes?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
How it works
If a material is damaged, we’ll say so before we leave, so you can keep people away. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples

- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
How to prepare
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
