Asbestos help in Normandy
Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- Parking and access charges
- How many outbuildings are included
- How many different materials need sampling
- What the material is and its state
Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A clear close-up
- A rough size or measurement
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
You’ll get a written quote. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
How asbestos survey works in Normandy
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 Normandy. People often contact us about planned refurbishment work and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, involving floor tiles, garage roofs and flues.
Rural homes near Normandy have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Normandy buildings and asbestos surveys
Normandy is about 4 miles east of Aldershot, in Surrey. We cover Normandy as part of Surrey, whatever the size of the job. Normandy is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we work.
A school such as Wyke Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder. If you let flats or houses near Wanborough station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
For surveys in GU3, just send the postcode and a few photos. We can help with surveys on streets such as Manor Farm Close, Guildford Road and Milton Close or the roads around them. If your property is just outside Normandy, we also cover Willey Green (1 mile east), Flexford (1 mile south), Christmas Pie (1 mile south), Wyke (1 mile west) and Wanborough (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also work in Guildford (4 miles east), Woking (6 miles north-east), Camberley (6 miles north-west), Farnham (6 miles south-west), Egham (13 miles north-east) and Walton-on-Thames (14 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Ash Museum (2.1 miles west) and Guildford Hospital (2.6 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Hog's Back and Ash Ranges.
- Nearby, you’ll find Duke of Normandy pub (0.5 miles east)

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Normandy
How far is Normandy from London?
We cover Normandy, about 30 miles from central London.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Normandy?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
What happens
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. We seal up each sample point. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive a clear written report with recommendations
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If your business premises in Normandy were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Limits to be aware of
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials in Normandy
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
Afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
After we’ve finished:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Things not to do
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Options to consider in Normandy
Management or refurbishment and demolition? The first is for a building in normal use and involves minor intrusion; the second is fully intrusive and needed before work. See our guide to which survey you need. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
