Asbestos survey for Enton Green
Asbestos survey for Enton Green properties
Planning building work in Enton Green? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. Typical jobs include pre-purchase checks on older properties and checks on rental property, involving pipe lagging, boiler cupboard panels and floor tiles.
Village properties around Enton Green often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

What we do and do not cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- The number of materials to sample
- The size and age of the building
- The type of survey you need
- How much there is
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- The parking area
- An overall view
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Damaged areas
Include any existing survey or test when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
The process
We photograph and assess the condition of everything we find, which goes into the report. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there’s no confusion.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
How to prepare
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Ensure we can get to the area

Common questions in Enton Green
Can you survey a school or hall near Enton Green?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you work near Milford (Surrey) station?
Yes, we cover Enton Green and the area towards Milford (Surrey) station, about 0.5 miles north-west.
Do you cover Enton Green?
We do: our area includes Enton Green and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Enton Green?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you’re about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. We will recommend one when you tell us what you are planning.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.

Typical surveys in Enton Green
Asbestos materials often look exactly like ones without asbestos. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
These are some of the things we deal with in Enton Green:
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Schools, halls and community buildings
For a school like The Chandler CofE Aided Junior School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
What your quote should include
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- Whether extra samples cost more
- If the price includes VAT
What happens next
Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
A few practical points:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
What to avoid
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
