About our asbestos survey in Windlesham
The type of survey you need in Windlesham depends on what happens next: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We’ll match the survey to the plan. Whether it’s pre-work surveys for trades and demolition and strip-out, we deal with textured ceilings, flues and soffits and more.
Homes in places like Windlesham range from older cottages to post-war and later houses, and any built or altered before 2000 can contain asbestos. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

After the job
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Once we are done:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Survey first, then book the trades
What to avoid
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.

For businesses and landlords in Windlesham
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Materials, one by one
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
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Windlesham
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Windlesham?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Could my house in Windlesham contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Windlesham can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
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.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
What will I get after the survey?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do.
How do I get a quote?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
The scope of an asbestos survey
Worth knowing before you book:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
