Asbestos survey near Westfield
Asbestos survey near Westfield
We survey the whole building or just the areas you’re working on, whichever fits your plans in Westfield. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. Common materials are boiler cupboard panels, textured ceilings and water tanks, and typical jobs are shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and workplaces built before 2000.
In places like Westfield, surveys typically cover a house plus its garage and outbuildings, because cement sheet roofs are common on older garages. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

How we price an asbestos survey
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- The number of materials to sample
- How easy it is to reach
- The survey scope
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
What to photograph
What to photograph:
- Labels, if any

Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in British buildings for much of the 20th century, until it was fully banned in 1999. So buildings across Surrey can contain it in roofs, soffits, ceilings, floors and boiler cupboards.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
A school such as Westfield 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 your quote should include
- The report contents
- VAT, clearly stated

FAQs for Westfield
Do you work near Woking station?
Yes. Woking station is about 1.2 miles north of Westfield, and we cover both.
Could my house in Westfield contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Westfield may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Your options compared
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, so surveying first is typically cheaper in the end. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
What you get
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Condition assessed for every material
- Domestic and commercial work

After we’ve finished in Westfield
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Going forward:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
Avoid these
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.

Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and keeps dust to a minimum.

- 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
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
How to prepare

- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
