How asbestos survey works in South Park
Plenty of older buildings, in South Park as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. A survey tells you which situation you’re in, so you can plan sensibly. From demolition projects and buying a property built before 2000, we deal with flues, soffits and floor tiles and more.
In South Park, we often survey a house together with its garage, sheds and lean-tos, since those are where cement sheet roofs tend to be. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Avoid these
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Surveying buildings in South Park
South Park is about 1 mile south of Reigate, in Surrey. We work across South Park and the surrounding area, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. We work in 395 places across Surrey. We work right across the region, from South Park to Crawley (8 miles away).
For rented homes close to Reigate station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance. For a school like Sandcross Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder. Parts of the Surrey Hills National Landscape are within about 5 miles of South Park, and rural properties there often have outbuildings worth including in a survey.
Anywhere in RH2, we can help with an asbestos survey, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Smith Road, North Road and Apley Road or anywhere nearby, the process is the same. We also carry out surveys in Reigate (1 mile north), Sidlow (1 mile south), Irons Bottom (2 miles south), Leigh (2 miles south-west) and Dawesgreen (2 miles south-west). Further out, we also cover Epsom (8 miles north), Horley (4 miles south-east), Ewell (9 miles north), Walton-on-Thames (14 miles north-west), Caterham (7 miles north-east) and Dorking (5 miles west).

FAQs for South Park
Do you cover South Park and the area around Reigate station?
Yes, we cover South Park and the area towards Reigate station, about 1.1 miles north.
How far is South Park from London?
We cover South Park, about 20 miles from central London.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
It depends on your plans: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Tell us more and we will advise.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
What it might be made of
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
Options to consider in South Park
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not typically take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Typical surveys in South Park
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
Got an older property in South Park, close to St Luke's or further out? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.
Questions to ask before you book
- Suitable insurance for the work
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Which laboratory analyses samples
What we do and don’t cover
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in South Park, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in South Park must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
The process
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We will tell you when we have finished and what you will receive afterwards.
- Get in touch with the address and your plans
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
How to prepare
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Keep children and pets away on the day
