About our asbestos survey in Kingsfold
About to refurbish in Kingsfold? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. Whether it’s pre-purchase checks on older properties and schools, halls and community buildings, we deal with pipe lagging, garage roofs and flues.
Around a village like Kingsfold, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
After we have finished:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
What to avoid
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Why people call us in Kingsfold

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Kingsfold
Do you come out to small villages like Kingsfold?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- How many outbuildings are included
- The type of survey you need
- The size and age of the building
- The survey scope
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The parking area
- A close-up from a safe distance
