Asbestos survey near Haslemere
Asbestos survey in Haslemere
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Haslemere, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. From managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and rented homes due for maintenance, we deal with flues, garage roofs and floor tiles and more.
Haslemere has a mix of older and newer homes, and anything altered before 2000 may contain asbestos, so a survey before work is sensible. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Where asbestos turns up
Materials age: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, and the survey assesses condition.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Rented homes due for maintenance
Schools such as Shottermill Infant School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register.

What we do and don’t cover
Worth knowing before booking:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too

Duty holders and landlords in Haslemere

Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not generally sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.

No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.

A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Materials, one by one
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, typically bound in the bitumen.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first

- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
