Asbestos survey for St George's Hill
Asbestos survey in St George's Hill
If you’re buying a home or building in St George's Hill from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, which helps you plan and budget for any work. Typical jobs include managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and surveys requested by builders before work, involving soffits, pipe lagging and floor tiles.
Homes in areas like St George's Hill range from older cottages to post-war and later houses, and anything altered before 2000 may contain asbestos. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

After we have finished in St George's Hill
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Things not to do
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
How we work
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report and explain the findings
Before we arrive
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Clear the way to the work area
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there

Why us?
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Covering London and the South East
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Clear advice on your options

What it costs
Every quote reflects:

- The size of the job

Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Before you book, note that:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Common materials
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles

- Cement sheets and cladding

What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Typical surveys in St George's Hill
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. A survey is the usual way to do that.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Public and community buildings
- Demolition projects
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
Schools such as Manby Lodge Infant School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
What your quote should include
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- The report contents
- Areas included and excluded
- If the price includes VAT
Your questions about an asbestos survey in St George's Hill
Can you survey a school or hall near St George's Hill?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
How far is St George's Hill from London?
We cover St George's Hill, about 18 miles from central London.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
It depends on your plans: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we will advise.
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.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How do I get a quote?
