How we work

If a material is damaged, we’ll say so before we leave, rather than waiting for the report. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions.

  1. Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
  2. We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
  3. On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
  4. Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
  5. We send the report with results and recommendations

Preparing for the visit

  • Do not disturb the material before we get there
  • Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
  • Keep children and pets away on the day

Asbestos survey for Frensham properties

We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Frensham. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. Typical materials include water tanks, soffits and pipe lagging, and people typically contact us about demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms.

Village houses like those in Frensham have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

What it costs

What drives the price:

  • The quantity or area
  • How many outbuildings are included
  • What the material is and its state
  • How easy it is to reach

Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

Sending photos

The most useful photos are:

  • A closer photo of the material, without touching it
  • A rough size or measurement
  • Where we could park
  • Damaged areas

Include any existing survey or test when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

What we deal with in Frensham

Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres.

People usually contact us about one of these:

  • Demolition and strip-out
  • Common parts of flats and HMOs
  • Buying a property built before 2000
  • Rented homes between tenancies

A school such as St Mary's CofE Aided Infant School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

Comparing quotes

  • Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
  • If the price includes VAT
  • The number of samples
  • The report contents

How to choose an asbestos contractor

A closer look at the materials

Textured coatings

We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.

Insulating board

It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, which is why sampling matters.

Your options compared

A survey or a sample test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Why choose us

  • Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
  • Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
  • Houses, flats and business premises
  • Inaccessible areas listed clearly

See our prices page or the cost guide.

What’s included, and what isn’t

We are upfront about what’s included:

  • The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
  • A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
  • The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too

If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

Common materials

  • Ceiling tiles
  • Floor tiles and adhesive
  • Water tanks and flues
  • Pipe lagging
  • Roofing felt and bitumen
  • Cement sheets and cladding
  • Soffits and porch canopies
  • Boiler cupboards and panels
  • Artex and textured coatings
  • Garage and shed roofs

Responsibilities for owners

If your business premises in Frensham were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Frensham, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Frensham questions

Do you cover Frensham and the area around Farnham station?

Yes. Farnham station is about 3.2 miles north of Frensham, and we cover both.

Do you cover Frensham from London?

We cover Frensham, about 38 miles from central London.

Do you cover Frensham?

Yes. We cover Frensham and the surrounding area as part of Surrey. Send us the postcode for a quote.

Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?

No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t usually take samples for analysis. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?

Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?

Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.

What if my house is newer?

Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

Do you need to see it before quoting?

Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.

After we’ve finished in Frensham

For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.

Keeping things safe:

  • Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
  • Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
  • 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

Things not to do

Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.

If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.

  • Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
  • Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
  • Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
  • Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
