Afterwards
Material in good condition often doesn’t need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Don’ts
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Asbestos survey near Gatton
Plenty of older buildings, in Gatton as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. A survey tells you which situation you’re in. Whether it’s demolition and strip-out and rented homes between tenancies, we cover textured ceilings, garage roofs and boiler cupboard panels.
Village surveys around Gatton can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
The process
Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- The lab analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
How to prepare
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there

Helpful guides
Gatton: your questions answered
Do you cover Gatton from London?
We cover Gatton, about 17 miles from central London.
Do you cover Gatton and the area around Merstham station?
Yes, we cover Gatton and the area towards Merstham station, about 1 mile east.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you cover Gatton?
We do: Gatton is within the area we cover in Surrey. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t usually take samples for analysis. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Does a survey leave holes?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

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’re comparing like with like. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
