Asbestos survey near Pitch Place
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 Pitch Place. Common materials are flues, floor tiles and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and pre-work surveys for trades.
Village houses like those in Pitch Place have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

What it costs
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The number of materials to sample
- The survey scope
- What the material is and its state
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Afterwards
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
To avoid problems in future:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Avoid these
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Worth knowing before you book:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Where asbestos turns up
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report is how they find out.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Demolition and strip-out
For rented homes close to Witley station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
Questions to ask before you book
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- The number of samples
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- If the price includes VAT

Questions from Pitch Place
Is asbestos common in Pitch Place homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Pitch Place may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Will the survey damage the property?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
