Asbestos survey near Frimley Green
Our surveys in Frimley Green cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units.

People often contact us about public and community buildings and planned refurbishment work, involving water tanks, boiler cupboard panels and flues.
In a smaller place like Frimley Green, surveys are often for family homes before renovation, with garages and outbuildings included, because cement sheet roofs are common on older garages. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

The scope of an asbestos survey
What’s in and what’s out:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
What else we do in Frimley Green
Should you do it yourself?
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.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
What happens next
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
What to avoid
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. So buildings across Surrey can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Demolition projects
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms

Common questions in Frimley Green
How far is Frimley Green from London?
We cover Frimley Green, about 31 miles from central London.
Do you cover Frimley Green and the area around Farnborough North station?
Yes. Farnborough North station is about 0.5 miles west of Frimley Green, and we cover both.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts generally need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
What does the survey report include?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Duty holders and landlords in Frimley Green
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, generally well bound in.
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Which option is right?
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, so you are comparing like with like. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
