About our asbestos survey in Thursley
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey covers a building in everyday use, while a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before work starts. We will tell you which suits your plans in Thursley. People often contact us about purchases of older homes and buildings and pre-work surveys for trades, including garage roofs, textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Rural homes near Thursley have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Before booking, note that:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials

- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive

Choosing the right option
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, so you’re comparing like with like. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why us?
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Every main survey type
- Reports and results you can share

For businesses and landlords in Thursley
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you run a business from older premises in Thursley, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Questions from Thursley
Do you cover small places like Thursley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Thursley from London?
Thursley is about 36 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
What does the survey report include?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Areas not accessed are listed too.
Will the survey damage the property?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
After the job
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
A few practical points:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Materials, one by one
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
