How asbestos survey works in Sheet's Heath
Our surveys in Sheet's Heath 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. We often deal with floor tiles, textured ceilings and water tanks, and typical jobs are public and community buildings and demolition projects.
Village houses like those in Sheet's Heath have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. It’s licensed work.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
The scope of an asbestos survey
A few things to be aware of:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
Typical surveys in Sheet's Heath
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. So buildings across Surrey can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
These are some of the things we deal with in Sheet's Heath:
- Community buildings and halls
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Planned refurbishment work

Weighing up your options
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment typically needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If your business premises in Sheet's Heath were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
After we have finished in Sheet's Heath
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Once we are done:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
What to avoid
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Sheet's Heath questions
Do you cover small places like Sheet's Heath?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Sheet's Heath from London?
Sheet's Heath is about 27 miles from central London, well within our area.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What does the survey report include?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.

A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How we work
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report and explain the findings

- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
