Asbestos survey near Send
Asbestos survey for Send properties
Our surveys in Send cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. Typical materials include water tanks, boiler cupboard panels and garage roofs, and people normally contact us about rented homes between tenancies and demolition projects.
In a smaller place like Send, surveys are often for family homes before renovation, with garages and outbuildings included, since older garages often have cement roofs. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

After we have finished in Send
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
Keeping things safe:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
What to avoid
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Weighing up your options
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why us?
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Accredited laboratory results
- Across London and the South East
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Send
Do you work near Clandon station?
Yes. Clandon station is about 2.2 miles south-east of Send, and we cover both.
Can you survey a school or hall near Send?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you work in Send?
Yes. We cover Send and the surrounding area as part of Surrey. Send us the postcode for a quote.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
How we price an asbestos survey
What drives the price:
- The quantity or area
- How many outbuildings are included
- How many different materials need sampling
- The size and age of the building
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
What to photograph
The most useful photos are:
- Street parking nearby
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Approximate dimensions

Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
