Asbestos survey in Holmwood Corner
What you are planning in Holmwood Corner decides the survey: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We will match the survey to the plan. Whether it’s common parts of flats and HMOs and rented homes between tenancies, we deal with floor tiles, boiler cupboard panels and water tanks and more.
Rural homes near Holmwood Corner have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Common questions in Holmwood Corner
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Holmwood Corner and the area around Holmwood station?
Yes. Holmwood station is close to the centre of Holmwood Corner, and we cover the whole area.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How do I get a quote?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, usually well bound in.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Things not to do
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
