Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
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.
About our asbestos survey in Weybridge
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Weybridge must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is generally the starting point. Typical jobs include community buildings and halls and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises, including boiler cupboard panels, water tanks and flues.
In Weybridge, a survey usually comes before a sale, a refit or planned maintenance, scoped to suit. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Weybridge: your questions answered
Do you cover Weybridge from London?
Weybridge is about 18 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Weybridge homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does the survey report include?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What affects the price in Weybridge
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- Parking and access charges
- Which survey type fits your plans
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How easy it is to reach
Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Sending photos
The most useful photos are:
- An overall view
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Where we could park
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Send us the address in Weybridge, a description and some photos: use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, normally bound in the bitumen.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Common reasons for surveys in Weybridge
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.
These come up again and again:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
Got an older property in Weybridge, close to United Reform Church or further out? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.
Comparing quotes
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Whether extra samples cost more
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- The scope, in writing
Which option is right?
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not typically take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
How we work in Weybridge
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Across London and the South East
- Houses, flats and business premises
See how we quote and our cost guide.
What’s included, and what is not
To be clear about the scope:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Materials we see

- Garage and shed roofs

Duty holders and landlords in Weybridge
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
