Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Upper Eashing questions
Do you cover small places like Upper Eashing?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Upper Eashing homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats typically do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
What does the survey report include?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
How it works
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. We seal up each sample point. We’ll tell you when we’ve finished and what you’ll receive afterwards.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report with results and recommendations
Getting ready
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

A closer look at the materials
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Good to know
Worth knowing before booking:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Common materials
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues

After we’ve finished in Upper Eashing
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Keeping things safe:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
Things not to do
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Choosing the right option
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t usually take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Why people call us in Upper Eashing
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. That’s why so many buildings in Surrey can contain it, from garage roofs and soffits to textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
For rented homes close to Godalming station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
