Asbestos survey for Pitland Street
Asbestos survey near Pitland Street
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Pitland Street must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is normally the starting point. Whether it’s buying a property built before 2000 and public and community buildings, we cover pipe lagging, water tanks and flues.
Village properties around Pitland Street often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Should you do it yourself?

If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
What we deal with in Pitland Street
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. Most duty holders commission a survey to meet that duty.
These come up again and again:
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Planned refurbishment work
For rented homes close to Gomshall station, share asbestos information with trades before work.

Going forward:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts

Common questions in Pitland Street
Do you work near Gomshall station?
Yes. Gomshall station is about 2.7 miles north-west of Pitland Street, and we cover both.
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.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you work in Pitland Street?
Yes, Pitland Street is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What does the survey report include?
A record of every suspect material in scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.

What else we do in Pitland Street
Your options compared
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
