Good to know
Before you book, note that:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the price in Ewhurst
We base our quote on:
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- Travel and parking
- The number of materials to sample
- How easy it is to reach
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Helping us quote
What to photograph:
- A rough size or measurement
- Visible markings
- Cracks or breaks
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Photos from a safe distance help: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Common questions in Ewhurst
Could my house in Ewhurst contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What will I get after the survey?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
For landlords, agents and businesses
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.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Once we’re done:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Survey first, then book the trades
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
What to avoid
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Typical surveys in Ewhurst
You cannot tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Checks on rental property
- Demolition and strip-out
If you manage lettings around Ockley station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
Before booking anyone
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Whether extra samples cost more
- What you’ll receive in writing
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
How it works
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you’re planning
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report and explain the findings
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Clear the way to the work area
- Keep children and pets away on the day
