Common questions in Wentworth
Do you come out to small villages like Wentworth?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Wentworth homes?
If your home in Wentworth was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Will the survey damage the property?
Only minimally for a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Asbestos survey in Wentworth
Any building in Wentworth built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. We often deal with soffits, garage roofs and boiler cupboard panels, and typical jobs are purchases of older homes and buildings and rented homes between tenancies.
Village houses like those in Wentworth have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples

Why people call us in Wentworth
Older buildings have often been altered many times, 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.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
Non-domestic buildings, Christ Church CofE Aided Infant School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Common materials
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Wentworth, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
If your business premises in Wentworth were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
What it costs
What drives the price:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- What the material is and its state
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Helping us quote
For a quick quote, include:
- A photo of the whole area
- An idea of size
- Damaged areas
- A clear close-up
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Going forward:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
What to avoid
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
