Asbestos survey near Willey Green
If you are buying a home or building in Willey Green from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, so you can plan renovations with your eyes open. Typical jobs include buying a property built before 2000 and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, including boiler cupboard panels, flues and garage roofs.
Rural homes near Willey Green have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Willey Green buildings and asbestos surveys
Willey Green is about 4 miles west of Guildford, in Surrey. We work across Willey Green and the surrounding area, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. We work in 395 places in Surrey.
If you have an older property in Willey Green, near Church of St Mark or anywhere else, the rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive. Schools such as Kings College Guildford are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register.
For surveys in GU3, just send the postcode and a few photos. That could mean a property on Aldershot Road, Homestead Drive and Bailes Lane, wherever it is in Willey Green. Neighbouring places we cover include Normandy (1 mile west), Flexford (1 mile south-west), Wood Street Village (1 mile south-east), Christmas Pie (1 mile south-west) and Fairlands (2 miles east). Further out, we also cover Guildford (4 miles east), Woking (5 miles north-east), Camberley (6 miles north-west), Farnham (7 miles south-west), Egham (13 miles north) and Walton-on-Thames (14 miles north-east).
A little further out are Ash Museum (2.7 miles west) and Guildford Castle (4 miles south-east). Open spaces near Willey Green include Hog's Back and Ash Ranges.
- Local pubs include Duke of Normandy pub (under half a mile south-west)
Where asbestos turns up
Until the 1999 ban, asbestos went into hundreds of building products. 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
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Workplaces built before 2000
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
If you’re a landlord near Wanborough station, share asbestos information with trades before work.

Willey Green questions
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Willey Green?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover small places like Willey Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
It depends on your plans: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Tell us more and we’ll advise.
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
What to avoid
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Step by step
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- The surveyor inspects and takes samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Limits to be aware of
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- 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; condition can change, so recheck it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Common materials
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Choosing the right option
A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not usually take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
