Asbestos survey in Earlswood
About our asbestos survey in Earlswood
The point of a survey is more than a list. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work. Typical jobs include kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and workplaces built before 2000, including floor tiles, water tanks and garage roofs.
In areas like Earlswood, surveys normally cover a house plus its garage and outbuildings, since older garages often have cement roofs. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Questions from Earlswood
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work near Earlswood (Surrey) station?
Yes, we cover Earlswood, including the streets around Earlswood (Surrey) station.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Earlswood?
Yes, we do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Is a survey needed before building work in Earlswood?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
After we’ve finished in Earlswood
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
A few practical points:
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
What to avoid
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Which option is right?
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so planned refurbishment normally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why people choose us
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Across London and the South East
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Common reasons for surveys in Earlswood
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it, so knowing where it is matters.
These are some of the things we deal with in Earlswood:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Pre-work surveys for trades
If you manage lettings around Earlswood (Surrey) station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- How easy it is to reach
- Which survey type fits your plans
- Parking and access charges
- Material and condition
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Helping us quote
For a quick quote, include:
- Street parking nearby
- A clear close-up
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A photo of the whole area
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
