How we work
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. We seal up each sample point. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing, so there is no confusion.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- 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
Before we arrive
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

How asbestos survey works in Lower Green
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building in Lower Green, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. Typical materials include textured ceilings, floor tiles and flues, and typical jobs are common parts of flats and HMOs and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms.
Village houses like those in Lower Green have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Which option is right?
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Work done to the regulations
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
Take a look at our prices page or our cost guide.
Looking after things afterwards
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Survey first, then book the trades
Things not to do
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What we do and don’t cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Lower Green
Do you cover small places like Lower Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you survey a school or hall near Lower Green?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Does a survey leave holes?
Only minimally for a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you cover Lower Green?
We do: our area includes Lower Green and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Common reasons for surveys in Lower Green
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Public and community buildings
- Rented homes between tenancies
For rented homes close to Esher station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you manage or own a block in Lower Green, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
