Asbestos survey near Fickleshole
Common questions in Fickleshole
Do you work near Woldingham station?
Yes, we cover Fickleshole and the area towards Woldingham station, about 3.2 miles south-west.
Could my house in Fickleshole contain asbestos?
Any home in Fickleshole built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t normally take samples for analysis. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What does the survey report include?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Areas not accessed are listed too.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Asbestos survey in Fickleshole
If you’re buying a home or building in Fickleshole from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, which helps you plan and budget for any work. People often contact us about demolition projects and pre-work surveys for trades, involving textured ceilings, water tanks and garage roofs.
Village properties around Fickleshole often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Choosing the right option
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, which is why surveying first tends to save money. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Step by step
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. Parking close by makes the day easier.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Staying safe afterwards:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Avoid these
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
