Mayford: your questions answered
Do you work near Worplesdon station?
Yes, we cover Mayford and the area towards Worplesdon station, about 0.9 miles south-west.
Do you cover small places like Mayford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What will I get after the survey?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Areas not accessed are listed too.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you are about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. We will recommend one when you tell us what you are planning.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Mayford?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.

Why people call us in Mayford
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. So buildings across Surrey can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Workplaces built before 2000
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
Schools such as Westfield Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
What your quote should include
- What you’ll receive in writing
- How many samples are included
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- The scope of the job, in writing
Choosing the right option
The cheapest survey isn’t always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, before deciding. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why choose us
- Domestic and commercial work
- Work done to the regulations
- Records for your files
- Clear next steps

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
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.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Mayford, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
What’s included, and what is not
So you know what to expect:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
