After we have finished in Weston Green
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- 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
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Don’ts
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Asbestos survey near Weston Green
Any building in Weston Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. Typical jobs include demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and public and community buildings, including floor tiles, pipe lagging and flues.
Village houses like those in Weston Green have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
What happens
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there’s no confusion.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive a clear written report with recommendations
How to prepare
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Let us know where we can park

Helpful guides
What we do and do not cover
A few things to be aware of:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

DIY and asbestos
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.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Weston Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Common questions in Weston Green
Do you work near Thames Ditton station?
Yes, we cover Weston Green, including the streets around Thames Ditton station.
Do you cover Weston Green from London?
Weston Green is about 13 miles from central London, well within our area.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Who needs a management survey?
It’s normally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
