Asbestos survey near Shepperton Green
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, whichever fits your plans in Shepperton Green. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. People often contact us about pre-purchase checks on older properties and rented homes between tenancies, including soffits, flues and garage roofs.
In Shepperton Green, we often survey a house together with its garage, sheds and lean-tos, since those are where cement sheet roofs tend to be. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, so a lab result is essential.
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.
What it costs
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- How many samples are needed
- Access to the area
- How much sampling is needed
- The type of material and its condition
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- A photo of the whole area
- How we’d reach it
- An idea of size
- A clear close-up

Questions from Shepperton Green
Is asbestos common in Shepperton Green homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Shepperton Green?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
What to avoid
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Choosing the right option
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, so you are comparing like with like. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

What’s included, and what is not
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- 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 will not do before building work
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
