Asbestos survey in Sunnymeads
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, depending on what you need. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. We often deal with floor tiles, garage roofs and boiler cupboard panels, and people normally contact us about demolition and strip-out and pre-work surveys for trades.
Village properties around Sunnymeads often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- Material and condition
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope

Every quote says whether VAT is included.

Where asbestos turns up
Most of the risk from asbestos comes from disturbing it without knowing it’s there. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Planned refurbishment work
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Checks on rental property
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
If you manage lettings around Sunnymeads station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.

Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Sunnymeads: your questions answered
Do older homes in Sunnymeads have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Sunnymeads may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Sunnymeads?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Sunnymeads?
We do: Sunnymeads is within the area we cover in Surrey. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not typically sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
After the job
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Avoid these
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
