Asbestos survey in Titsey
Asbestos survey for Titsey properties
Whether you’re buying, renovating or letting in Titsey, a survey answers the asbestos question. We look, sample and record, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. From the communal parts of blocks of flats and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects, we cover floor tiles, soffits and garage roofs and more.
Village houses like those in Titsey have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What we do and do not cover
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- 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
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we deal with
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
Your options compared
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Why choose us
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- The right survey for your plans
- Practical recommendations

What happens next
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Don’ts
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
The process
Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- You get the report, and we talk you through it
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there

Common questions in Titsey
Do you work near Oxted station?
Yes. Oxted station is about 1.8 miles south-west of Titsey, and we cover both.
How far is Titsey from London?
Titsey is about 16 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
It depends on your plans: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Describe the work and we’ll recommend one.
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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- The number of materials to sample
- Material and condition
