Asbestos survey for Elmbridge Village properties
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, in plain English. We often deal with textured ceilings, boiler cupboard panels and garage roofs, and people typically contact us about common parts of flats and HMOs and workplaces built before 2000.
Village properties around Elmbridge Village often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Elmbridge Village questions
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Elmbridge Village?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Could my house in Elmbridge Village contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos materials often look exactly like ones without asbestos. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
Typical jobs in Elmbridge Village include:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
Non-domestic buildings, Glebelands School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
What your quote should include
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- The number of samples
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264

Duty holders and landlords in Elmbridge Village
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Choosing the right option
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 refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Why people choose us
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Condition assessed for every material
- Clear notes on any areas not reached

The scope of an asbestos survey
Worth knowing before booking:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
