Asbestos survey for Horsell
Good to know
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
About our asbestos survey in Horsell
Before you buy, build or let in Horsell, it helps to know what’s in the building. We look, sample and record, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. Common materials are water tanks, floor tiles and boiler cupboard panels, and people generally contact us about contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and community buildings and halls.
In areas like Horsell, surveys typically cover a house plus its garage and outbuildings, since older garages often have cement roofs. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Don’ts

Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.

Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Which option is right?
The cheapest survey is not always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, before deciding. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
