Asbestos survey in Headley
We survey the whole building or just the areas you’re working on, whichever fits your plans in Headley. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. Typical jobs include common parts of flats and HMOs and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects, including garage roofs, pipe lagging and textured ceilings.
In a village like Headley, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before you book:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

FAQs for Headley
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Could my house in Headley contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Headley can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, we do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Tell us about the building and what you need.
What does the survey report include?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Areas not accessed are listed too.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Where asbestos turns up
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Community buildings and halls
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Rented homes between tenancies
Non-domestic buildings, St Andrew's Catholic School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

Looking after things afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
To avoid problems in future:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Step by step
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. We seal up each sample point. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Before we arrive
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Let us know if something’s broken

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
