How asbestos survey works in Hamsey Green
A survey isn’t 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. Typical materials include soffits, water tanks and pipe lagging, and typical jobs are planned refurbishment work and the communal parts of blocks of flats.
Around a village like Hamsey Green, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Questions from Hamsey Green
Do you cover Hamsey Green and the area around Upper Warlingham station?
Yes, we cover Hamsey Green and the area towards Upper Warlingham station, about 1 mile south-west.
Could my house in Hamsey Green contain asbestos?
Any home in Hamsey Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
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 quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Materials, one by one
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, usually well bound in.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. It’s licensed work.
Why people call us in Hamsey Green
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres, so knowing where it is matters.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Schools, halls and community buildings
If you are a landlord near Upper Warlingham station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.

- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps
Getting ready
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Clear the way to the work area
- Find any old asbestos reports

Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and does not cover:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we deal with
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Hamsey Green, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
What happens next
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Avoid these
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
