Asbestos survey in Parkgate
Parkgate questions
Do you cover Parkgate from London?
Parkgate is about 23 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Parkgate homes?
Any home in Parkgate built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Do you work in Parkgate?
We do: our area includes Parkgate and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Asbestos survey in Parkgate
The point of a survey is more than a list. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work, in plain English. Common materials are boiler cupboard panels, flues and floor tiles, and people generally contact us about checks on rental property and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms.
In a village like Parkgate, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

We cover 395 places across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Crawley, about 6 miles away.
Parts of the Surrey Hills National Landscape are within about 5 miles of Parkgate, and rural properties there often have outbuildings worth including in a survey.
Wherever your property is in RH5, we can help with an asbestos survey. From Broad Lane, Mill Lane and Becket Wood or a nearby road, we can help. If your property is just outside Parkgate, we also cover Shellwood Cross (1 mile north), Newdigate (1 mile south-west), Cudworth (2 miles south), Nalderswood (2 miles north-east) and Norwood Hill (2 miles east). Further out, we also cover Guildford (14 miles west), Epsom (11 miles north), Horley (5 miles east), Redhill (6 miles north-east), Ewell (12 miles north) and Reigate (5 miles north-east).

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Parkgate, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Good to know
Worth knowing before booking:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we see
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. It’s licensed work.
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
Where asbestos turns up
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
In older properties, we often see:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Planned refurbishment work
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
If you’re a landlord near Holmwood station, share asbestos information with trades before work.

Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Choosing the right option
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why people choose us
- Work done to the regulations
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Step by step
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- The surveyor inspects and takes samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- You get the report, and we talk you through it
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the work area
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions
