Asbestos survey near Redlands
About to refurbish in Redlands? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. People often contact us about demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and planned refurbishment work, including pipe lagging, floor tiles and flues.
Village surveys around Redlands can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Options to consider in Redlands
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys

Surveys around Redlands
Redlands is about 3 miles south of Fleet, in Surrey. Properties in Redlands range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. Redlands is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. Our area stretches from Redlands to Guildford (about 12 miles away).
Planning work on an older building in Redlands, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first. For a school like Crondall Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is normally where that starts.
We handle surveys in every part of the GU10 postcode area and the streets around it. We also carry out surveys in Warren Corner (1 mile east), Crondall (1 mile south-west), Dora's Green (1 mile south-east), Ewshot (1 mile east) and Bowling Alley (1 mile north-west). Larger places within reach include Guildford (12 miles east), Woking (13 miles north-east), Camberley (9 miles north-east), Farnham (3 miles south-east), Frimley (7 miles north-east) and Haslemere (12 miles south-east).
A little further out are Hart Shopping Centre (3.1 miles north) and Museum of Farnham (2.4 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Farnham Park and Beacon Hill.
- Local schools include St Nicholas' School (1 mile north) and Court Moor School (2.4 miles north)
- Local pubs include The Plume Of Feathers Public House (0.7 miles west)
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Redlands: your questions answered
Do you work near Farnham station?
Yes, we cover Redlands and the area towards Farnham station, about 2.9 miles south-east.
Do older homes in Redlands have asbestos?
Any home in Redlands built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What will I get after the survey?
A record of every suspect material in scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
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.
What’s the difference between a test and 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.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What we do and don’t cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Redlands, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
How it works
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and keeps dust to a minimum.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Before we arrive
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

Helpful guides
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
What we deal with in Redlands
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it, so knowing where it is matters.
These come up again and again:
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Rented homes between tenancies
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Surveys requested by builders before work
If you’re a landlord near Farnham station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
