Asbestos help in Egham
Surveying buildings in Egham
Egham is about 6 miles south-east of Slough, in Surrey. Anywhere in Egham, just send the postcode. We cover all 395 towns and villages in Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Egham to Guildford (about 13 miles away).
Planning work on an older building in Egham, whether near St John's Church or elsewhere? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive. Schools such as Manorcroft Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is generally where that starts.
Surveys anywhere in TW20 and TW18 start with the postcode and some photos. From Station Road, Church Road and High Street or anywhere nearby, we can help. Egham is on the A30 and A308, so it’s easy for us to reach. Neighbouring places we cover include Englefield Green (1 mile west), Hythe End (1 mile north), Egham Hythe (1 mile east), Stroude (1 mile south) and Thorpe (2 miles south-east). We also cover nearby towns such as Guildford (13 miles south), Woking (8 miles south), Camberley (10 miles south-west), Epsom (14 miles south-east), Ewell (14 miles south-east) and Walton-on-Thames (7 miles south-east). Being one of Surrey’s larger places, Egham has a wide mix of older and newer buildings.

Asbestos survey in Egham
Before you buy, build or let in Egham, it helps to know what’s in the building. We look, sample and record, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. Whether it’s surveys requested by builders before work and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises, we deal with garage roofs, soffits and water tanks and more.
In a town like Egham, surveys are often for homes before renovation, rented property and local businesses, where earlier alterations may contain asbestos. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

What’s included, and what isn’t
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time

Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
For managing agents and freeholders in Egham, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.

- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples

Preparing for the visit
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

FAQs for Egham
Do you cover Egham from London?
Egham is about 20 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Egham?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Materials we deal with
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.
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
