About our asbestos survey in Forest Green
A survey is not just a list of what’s there. It records the condition of each material, so you know what can be left and managed and what needs dealing with. From shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and rented homes due for maintenance, we deal with garage roofs, floor tiles and flues.
Village surveys around Forest Green can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

What’s included, and what isn’t
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

What we deal with in Forest Green
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
In older properties, we often see:
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Rented homes between tenancies
Planning work on an older building in Forest Green, whether near Holy Trinity or elsewhere? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.

What it costs
Prices vary with:
- The type of material and its condition
- How many samples are needed
- Travel and parking
- How easy it is to reach
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Sending photos
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A clear close-up
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- An overall view
- Street parking nearby
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Should you do 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.
FAQs for Forest Green
Could my house in Forest Green contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Forest Green can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you survey a school or hall near Forest Green?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
How do I get a quote?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you work in Forest Green?
Yes, we do: Forest Green is within the area we cover in Surrey. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
What will I get after the survey?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Areas not accessed are listed too.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Weighing up your options
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, before deciding. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why choose us
- Accredited laboratory results
- Clear next steps
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Clear notes on any areas not reached

For businesses and landlords in Forest Green
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
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.
Forest Green buildings and asbestos surveys
Forest Green is about 6 miles south-west of Dorking, in Surrey. In Forest Green, we hear from homeowners, landlords and businesses. We cover 395 places in Surrey. We work right across the region, from Forest Green to Guildford (10 miles away).
If you let flats or houses near Ockley station, share asbestos information with trades before work. Schools such as Hurtwood House are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register. Parts of the Surrey Hills National Landscape are within about 2 miles of Forest Green, where farm buildings, barns and stables with cement roofs are common.
We carry out surveys all over the RH5 postcode area. That could mean a property on Horsham Road and Ockley Road or the roads around them, wherever it is in Forest Green. If your property is just outside Forest Green, we also cover Ockley (2 miles south-east), Abinger Bottom (2 miles north), Coldharbour (2 miles north-east), Friday Street (3 miles north) and Abinger Common (3 miles north).

Afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Going forward:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Things not to do
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
