About our asbestos survey in Lurgashall
The type of survey you need in Lurgashall depends on what happens next: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We will recommend the right one. Typical materials include garage roofs, floor tiles and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are public and community buildings and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects.
Rural homes near Lurgashall have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

What we deal with in Lurgashall
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. A survey is the usual way to do that.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Public and community buildings
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Demolition projects
For rented homes close to Haslemere station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
Questions to ask before you book
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Whether VAT is included
- How many samples are included
- Areas included and excluded
Choosing the right option
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so planned refurbishment usually needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What you get
- Clear advice on your options
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

Lurgashall questions
Do older homes in Lurgashall have asbestos?
Any home in Lurgashall built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Haslemere station?
Yes, we cover Lurgashall and the area towards Haslemere station, about 4.5 miles north-west.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Will the survey damage the property?
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.
What will I get after the survey?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
That depends on what you’re planning: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Describe the work and we will recommend one.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- The type of survey you need
- Parking and access charges
- The quantity or area
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- A rough size or measurement
- The parking area
- A clear close-up
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749, and we will recommend the right option.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
How it works
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. We seal up each sample point. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on.
- Get in touch with the address and your plans
- We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to the laboratory
- You receive a clear written report with recommendations
How to prepare

- Keep children and pets away on the day

Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging

What it might be made of

Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
