How asbestos survey works in Lucas Green
About to refurbish in Lucas Green? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. People often contact us about rented homes due for maintenance and workplaces built before 2000, involving boiler cupboard panels, flues and pipe lagging.
Rural homes near Lucas Green have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

After the job
Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
To avoid problems in future:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Don’ts
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for 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 deal with in Lucas Green
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. Most duty holders commission a survey to meet that duty.
These come up again and again:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Surveys requested by builders before work
For a school like Bisley CofE Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is normally where that starts.
Questions to ask before booking
- VAT, clearly stated
- What you’ll receive in writing
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- Which areas and materials are covered
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Lucas Green questions
Do you cover small places like Lucas Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work near Brookwood station?
Yes, we cover Lucas Green and the area towards Brookwood station, about 2.1 miles south.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Does a survey leave holes?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Duty holders and landlords in Lucas Green
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If your business premises in Lucas Green were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Choosing the right option
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, which is why surveying first tends to save money. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Why people choose us
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Work done to the regulations

Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
