How asbestos survey works in Walton on the Hill
A survey isn’t just a list of what’s there. It records the condition of each material, so you know what can be left and managed and what needs dealing with. From surveys requested by builders before work and demolition projects, we cover water tanks, soffits and pipe lagging and more.
Village surveys around Walton on the Hill can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

What happens next
Material in good condition often doesn’t need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
To avoid problems in future:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Don’ts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
How it works
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.

Typical surveys in Walton on the Hill
It isn’t only big projects that disturb asbestos: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Demolition projects
- Planned refurbishment work
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
A school such as Walton-on-the-Hill Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

What else we do in Walton on the Hill
Common questions in Walton on the Hill
Could my house in Walton on the Hill contain asbestos?
Any home in Walton on the Hill built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Walton on the Hill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work in Walton on the Hill?
We do: Walton on the Hill is within the area we cover in Surrey. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
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.
Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
