How asbestos survey works in Shepperton
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey covers a building in everyday use, while a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before work starts. We will help you choose the right one for your survey in Shepperton. From rented homes between tenancies and planned refurbishment work, we cover floor tiles, garage roofs and textured ceilings.
In places like Shepperton, surveys normally cover a house plus its garage and outbuildings, because cement sheet roofs are common on older garages. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

After the job
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
After we have finished:
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Things not to do
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Shepperton were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, typically bound in the bitumen.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Garage and shed roofs
What happens
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. 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
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You get the report, and we talk you through it
Getting ready
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Ensure we can get to the area

Helpful guides
What we deal with in Shepperton
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. Most duty holders commission a survey to meet that duty.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Checks on rental property
- Public and community buildings
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
If you have an older property in Shepperton, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere else, the rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.
Before booking anyone
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Whether VAT is included
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
- What the report or result will contain

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Which option is right?
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so planned refurbishment generally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
