How asbestos survey works in Mytchett
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We’ll help you choose the right one for your survey in Mytchett. People often contact us about pre-work surveys for trades and common parts of flats and HMOs, involving soffits, flues and boiler cupboard panels.
Homes in towns and villages like Mytchett range from older cottages to post-war and later houses, and anything altered before 2000 may contain asbestos, so a survey before work is sensible. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

After the job
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Avoid these
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.

What else we do in Mytchett
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Mytchett, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Step by step
Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, before going to an accredited laboratory. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
How to prepare
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Tell us about parking and access

Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

Common reasons for surveys in Mytchett
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.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
Non-domestic buildings, Mytchett Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos.
What your quote should include
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Whether extra samples cost more
- What the report or result will contain
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- How many outbuildings are included
- The type of material and its condition
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The size of the job
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Sending photos
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- The parking area
- A photo of the whole area
- Cracks or breaks
- Visible markings
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Mytchett questions
Do older homes in Mytchett have asbestos?

Can you survey a school or hall near Mytchett?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
