Asbestos survey for Ewell Minnis properties
Not every older building in Ewell Minnis contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. The survey shows which applies to yours, so you can plan sensibly. Common materials are flues, boiler cupboard panels and floor tiles, and people normally contact us about managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report.
Rural homes near Ewell Minnis have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

- The number of materials to sample

Ewell Minnis: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is asbestos common in Ewell Minnis homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Who needs a management survey?
It’s typically needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What happens next
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
After we’ve finished:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Avoid these
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Ewell Minnis were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Before you book, note that:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- 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
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
What it might be made of
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.
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.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
