Asbestos survey in Frimley
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building in Frimley, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. People often contact us about rented homes between tenancies and public and community buildings, including flues, water tanks and boiler cupboard panels.
Town-centre shops and offices in Frimley are non-domestic premises with a duty to manage asbestos, while homes in the surrounding streets generally need a survey before building work. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Questions from Frimley
Could my house in Frimley 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 Frimley can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you survey a school or hall near Frimley?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not generally take samples for analysis. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
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.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
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.
If you manage or own a block in Frimley, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
After we have finished in Frimley
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Going forward:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Don’ts
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
What we do and do not cover
So you know what to expect:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
How we price an asbestos survey
Prices vary with:
- How much sampling is needed
- The quantity or area
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The survey scope
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
To help us quote quickly, send:
- A rough size or measurement
- Visible markings
- Street parking nearby
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Include any existing survey or test when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
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.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
What we deal with in Frimley
Over time, materials deteriorate: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, and the survey assesses condition.
These come up again and again:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Demolition and strip-out
For rented homes close to Frimley station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
