Asbestos survey in East Molesey
Planning building work in East Molesey? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. People often contact us about contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and buying a property built before 2000, including flues, floor tiles and boiler cupboard panels.
East Molesey has a mix of older and newer homes, and any built or altered before 2000 can contain asbestos, so a survey before work is sensible. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

FAQs for East Molesey
Is asbestos common in East Molesey homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in East Molesey may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around East Molesey?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. It’s licensed work.

Common reasons for surveys in East Molesey
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
For a school like The Orchard Infant School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
Questions to ask before you book
- If the price includes VAT
- The report contents
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Which laboratory analyses samples
For businesses and landlords in East Molesey
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- How many outbuildings are included
- The survey type
- The survey scope
- Access to the area
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Street parking nearby
- An overall view
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Labels, if any
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Looking after things afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Survey first, then book the trades
Avoid these
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
