About our asbestos survey in Pyrford Village
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, depending on what you need. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. From the communal parts of blocks of flats and schools, halls and community buildings, we cover boiler cupboard panels, flues and soffits and more.
Village properties around Pyrford Village often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Typical surveys in Pyrford Village
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. Most duty holders commission a survey to meet that duty.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Planned refurbishment work
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
Schools such as Pyrford Church of England Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is generally where that starts.
What your quote should include
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Areas included and excluded
- Whether extra samples cost more
- The report contents
Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- How big the building is
- How many outbuildings are included
- The survey scope
- What the material is and its state
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- An overall view
- How we’d reach it
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Looking after things afterwards
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
What to avoid
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
The scope of an asbestos survey
To be clear about the scope:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
Step by step
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report and explain the findings
Preparing for the visit
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Dig out previous surveys

What else we do in Pyrford Village
Pyrford Village: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Pyrford Village homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Pyrford Village may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Pyrford Village?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Who needs a management survey?
It’s normally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Pyrford Village?
That depends on what you are planning: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Describe the work and we’ll recommend one.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.

A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
