About our asbestos survey in Mayes Green
Buying an older property in Mayes Green? A pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, which helps you plan and budget for any work. We often deal with garage roofs, pipe lagging and water tanks, and typical jobs are demolition and strip-out and purchases of older homes and buildings.
Rural homes near Mayes Green have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Mayes Green questions
Can you survey a school or hall near Mayes Green?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t typically sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Do you work in Mayes Green?
Yes, we do: our area includes Mayes Green and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
Choosing the right option
Management or refurbishment and demolition? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. Our guide explains which you need. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Afterwards
Any areas not accessed are listed, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Avoid these
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.

Doing 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.
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.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
