Asbestos survey for Russ Hill
Asbestos survey for Russ Hill properties
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building in Russ Hill, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is generally the starting point. Whether it’s contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, we cover pipe lagging, textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Around a village like Russ Hill, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Choosing the right option
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why us?
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Reports and results you can share
- Domestic and commercial work

Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

Common questions in Russ Hill
Do you cover Russ Hill from London?
We cover Russ Hill, about 25 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Russ Hill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Russ Hill?
We do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Tell us about the building and what you need.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What does the survey report include?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Areas not accessed are listed too.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
