Common questions in Lyne
Is asbestos common in Lyne homes?
If your home in Lyne was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Lyne and the area around Chertsey station?
Yes. Chertsey station is about 1.2 miles east of Lyne, and we cover both.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not usually sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Asbestos survey near Lyne
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, depending on what you need. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. Typical jobs include demolition and strip-out and rented homes between tenancies, involving textured ceilings, garage roofs and flues.
Village properties around Lyne often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building, which is why surveys are systematic.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Community buildings and halls
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
Schools such as Lyne and Longcross CofE Aided Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register.
What your quote should include
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What you will receive in writing
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you run a business from older premises in Lyne, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
After we have finished in Lyne
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Don’ts
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
What else we do in Lyne
The process
Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. We’ll tell you when we’ve finished and what you will receive afterwards.

- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Before we arrive
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

Choosing the right option
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why choose us
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Clear written quotes
- Work done to the regulations
- Accredited laboratory results
See how we price jobs and our cost guide.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- Access to the area
- The type of survey you need
- How many samples are needed
- Travel and parking
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
Photos often save us a visit:
- How we’d reach it
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- An idea of size
- A picture of the whole area
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Materials, one by one
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
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, normally well bound in.
