How asbestos survey works in Tadworth
For landlords and managing agents in Tadworth, a survey gives contractors the information they need before they start. From the communal parts of blocks of flats and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises, we deal with garage roofs, pipe lagging and soffits.
In towns and villages like Tadworth, surveys normally cover a house plus its garage and outbuildings, since older garages often have cement roofs. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Why people call us in Tadworth
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report is how they find out.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Checks on rental property
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Shops, offices and industrial units
Schools such as Tadworth Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is normally where that starts.

Choosing the right option
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Tadworth: your questions answered
Do you cover Tadworth and the area around Tadworth station?
Yes, we cover Tadworth and the area towards Tadworth station, about 0.5 miles south-west.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
What will I get after the survey?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Tadworth?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. We will recommend one when you tell us what you’re planning.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t typically sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Looking after things afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Once we are done:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Avoid these
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
What happens
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- 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
- You receive a clear written report with recommendations
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the work area
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Mention any parking restrictions
Getting a price
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

What’s included, and what isn’t
What’s in and what’s out:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
