Asbestos survey in Tandridge
About our asbestos survey in Tandridge
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. In Tandridge, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Typical jobs include pre-purchase checks on older properties and checks on rental property, involving floor tiles, water tanks and pipe lagging.
Village houses like those in Tandridge have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, usually well bound in.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Which option is right?
The cheapest survey is not always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, so you’re comparing like with like. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Why us?
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Practical recommendations
- Records for your files

Afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Don’ts
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Typical surveys in Tandridge
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report is how they find out.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Community buildings and halls
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
For rented homes close to Godstone station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.

Tandridge questions
How far is Tandridge from London?
Tandridge is about 18 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you survey a school or hall near Tandridge?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
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.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Who needs a management survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings usually starts with one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.

Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
What affects the price in Tandridge
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- What the material is and its state
- How much sampling is needed
- The building’s size and layout
- How many outbuildings are included
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
