Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and does not cover:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
Asbestos survey in Pyrford Green
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Pyrford Green, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. We often deal with flues, pipe lagging and water tanks, and typical jobs are pre-work surveys for trades and public and community buildings.
Village properties around Pyrford Green often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Looking after things afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
A few practical points:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Don’ts
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.

Typical surveys in Pyrford Green
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report is how they find out.
These are some of the things we deal with in Pyrford Green:
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Rented homes between tenancies
For a school like Pyrford Church of England Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
What to look for in a quote
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Areas included and excluded

Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Pyrford Green, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
If your business premises in Pyrford Green were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
FAQs for Pyrford Green
Do you cover Pyrford Green from London?
Pyrford Green is about 21 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near West Byfleet station?
Yes. West Byfleet station is about 1.5 miles north of Pyrford Green, and we cover both.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Is a survey needed before building work in Pyrford Green?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
