Asbestos survey in Redhill
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey covers a building in everyday use, while a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before work starts. We’ll help you choose the right one for your survey in Redhill. From schools, halls and community buildings and workplaces built before 2000, we deal with flues, pipe lagging and floor tiles and more.
Town-centre shops and offices in Redhill are non-domestic premises with a duty to manage asbestos, and homes nearby need surveys before work. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Your options compared
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, which is why surveying first tends to save money. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

Questions from Redhill
Do older homes in Redhill have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Redhill can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Redhill?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Materials, one by one
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, normally well bound in.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If your business premises in Redhill were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
After we’ve finished in Redhill
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Don’ts
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
