Asbestos survey for Epsom Downs
Asbestos survey for Epsom Downs properties
The point of a survey is more than a list. It records the condition of each material, so you know what can be left and managed and what needs dealing with. From the communal parts of blocks of flats and demolition and strip-out, we cover boiler cupboard panels, garage roofs and pipe lagging and more.
Village houses like those in Epsom Downs have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

What affects the price in Epsom Downs
Every quote reflects:
- How many different materials need sampling
- How big the building is
- Material and condition
- How much there is
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- Street parking nearby
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The access route
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Choosing the right option
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not normally take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why choose us
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Clear advice on your options
- Recommendations in plain English

The scope of an asbestos survey
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
After we’ve finished in Epsom Downs
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Keeping things safe:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Survey first, then book the trades
What to avoid
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
What happens
The surveyor photographs and records each material’s condition, which goes into the report. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you are planning
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the work area
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Let us know if something’s broken

What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.

Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Typical surveys in Epsom Downs
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so there is no single place to look.

- Workplaces built before 2000
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Rented homes due for maintenance
