Asbestos survey near Irons Bottom

Any building in Irons Bottom built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. Typical jobs include purchases of older homes and buildings and common parts of flats and HMOs, including floor tiles, textured ceilings and pipe lagging.

Village properties around Irons Bottom often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

A closer look at the materials

Pipe lagging

Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.

Asbestos cement

Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.

Doing it yourself?

If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

What we do and don’t cover

The usual limits are:

A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Common materials

Soffits and porch canopies
Cement sheets and cladding
Garage and shed roofs
Artex and textured coatings
Water tanks and flues
Ceiling tiles
Pipe lagging
Floor tiles and adhesive
Roofing felt and bitumen
Boiler cupboards and panels

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Buying a house with asbestos: what you need to know

Weighing up your options

A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Common reasons for surveys in Irons Bottom

Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. That is why so many buildings in Surrey can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:

Rented homes due for maintenance
Pre-work surveys for trades
Community buildings and halls
Pre-purchase checks on older properties

Non-domestic buildings, Burys Court School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
