Asbestos survey for Hurtmore properties
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, depending on what you need. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. We often deal with flues, pipe lagging and water tanks, and typical jobs are community buildings and halls and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms.
Village properties around Hurtmore often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Common reasons for surveys in Hurtmore
Most of the risk from asbestos comes from disturbing it without knowing it’s there. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Demolition projects
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Workplaces built before 2000
For a school like Charterhouse School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register.
Before you book anyone
- What you will receive in writing
- Suitable insurance for the work
- The number of samples
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
Afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
What to avoid
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Hurtmore questions
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover small places like Hurtmore?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
What will I get after the survey?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
How it works
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Getting ready
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Warn neighbours if needed
