What’s included, and what is not
To be clear about the scope:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Little Bookham questions
Do you cover Little Bookham from London?
We cover Little Bookham, about 20 miles from central London.
Do you work near Bookham station?
Yes, we cover Little Bookham and the area towards Bookham station, about 1.4 miles north.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans and we will advise.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
For businesses and landlords in Little Bookham
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.

Helpful guides
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What it might be made of
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, so a lab result is essential.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Which option is right?
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t typically take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
