Asbestos survey for Norney properties
Not every older building in Norney contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. A survey tells you which situation you are in, so you can plan sensibly. People often contact us about refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and workplaces built before 2000, including floor tiles, textured ceilings and flues.
Rural homes near Norney have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

How it works
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.

- We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to the laboratory

Norney questions
Do you work near Godalming station?
Yes, we cover Norney and the area towards Godalming station, about 1.6 miles east.
Do you cover small places like Norney?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
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.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Norney?
We do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Norney?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you’re about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Looking after things afterwards
Any areas not accessed are listed, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
A few practical points:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
What to avoid
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Why people call us in Norney
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres, so knowing where it is matters.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Pre-work surveys for trades
Got an older property in Norney, close to Church of St Mary or further out? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.

Duty holders and landlords in Norney
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you run a business from older premises in Norney, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
A closer look at the materials
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. It’s licensed work.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
The scope of an asbestos survey
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
