Asbestos survey in Egham Wick
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We’ll tell you which suits your plans in Egham Wick. From shops, offices and industrial units and checks on rental property, we cover soffits, pipe lagging and boiler cupboard panels and more.
Village houses like those in Egham Wick have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Helpful guides
What we deal with in Egham Wick
It isn’t only big projects that disturb asbestos: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
Schools such as St Cuthbert's Catholic Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register.
Questions to ask before booking
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- If the price includes VAT
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Egham Wick
Do you cover Egham Wick from London?
Egham Wick is about 22 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Egham Wick and the area around Virginia Water station?
Yes, we cover Egham Wick and the area towards Virginia Water station, about 1.8 miles south-east.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
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.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What does the survey report include?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
Your options compared
A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not typically take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why choose us
- Across London and the South East
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Domestic and commercial work
- Accredited laboratory results

Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
For businesses and landlords in Egham Wick
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.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Looking after things afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Going forward:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Don’ts
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
What affects the price in Egham Wick
The cost depends on:
- How many samples are needed
- How many outbuildings are included
- Travel and parking
- The building’s size and layout
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
