Asbestos survey for Farnham Royal
Asbestos survey in Farnham Royal
The type of survey you need in Farnham Royal depends on what happens next: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We will recommend the right one. We often deal with soffits, flues and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are public and community buildings and common parts of flats and HMOs.
Village properties around Farnham Royal often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.

After the job
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
A few practical points:
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Things not to do
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Where asbestos turns up
You can’t tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
In older properties, we often see:
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Demolition projects
If you let flats or houses near Burnham station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.

What’s included, and what isn’t

- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
