What’s included, and what is not
A few things to be aware of:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

About our asbestos survey in Reigate
A survey is not just a list of what’s there. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work, in plain English. Whether it’s the communal parts of blocks of flats and rented homes between tenancies, we deal with flues, soffits and water tanks and more.
Older shops and offices in Reigate need asbestos management, while homes in the surrounding streets generally need a survey before building work. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Where asbestos turns up
The danger typically comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
Non-domestic buildings, Reigate Priory Community Junior School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos, and a management survey is generally where that starts.
Questions to ask before you book
- The number of samples
- The report contents
- VAT, clearly stated
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264

Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- Which survey type fits your plans
- Material and condition
- How many samples are needed
- How many outbuildings are included
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- A rough size or measurement
- The access route
- Street parking nearby
- Labels, if any
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Reigate
Do you cover Reigate and the area around Reigate station?
Yes. Reigate station is close to the centre of Reigate, and we cover the whole area.
Could my house in Reigate contain asbestos?
If your home in Reigate was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Your options compared
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so planned refurbishment normally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Why choose us
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Across London and the South East

For businesses and landlords in Reigate
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, usually bound in the bitumen.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
