Asbestos survey for Tilford properties
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. In Tilford, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. Common materials are soffits, water tanks and flues, and people usually contact us about workplaces built before 2000 and public and community buildings.
Village surveys around Tilford can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Why people call us in Tilford
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
In older properties, we often see:
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Planned refurbishment work
- Demolition projects
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
If you have an older property in Tilford, near Church of All Saints or anywhere else, the rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.
Questions to ask before you book
- What you’ll receive in writing
- Which areas and materials are covered
- The number of samples
- If the price includes VAT
Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, usually well bound in.
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
Options to consider in Tilford
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, which is why surveying first tends to save money. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Tilford
Do you work near Farnham station?
Yes, we cover Tilford and the area towards Farnham station, about 2.5 miles north-west.
Do you come out to small villages like Tilford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not normally take samples for analysis. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
