Asbestos survey near Wonersh
About our asbestos survey in Wonersh
The point of a survey is more than a list. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work, in plain English. Typical jobs include demolition projects and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, involving floor tiles, textured ceilings and water tanks.
In a village like Wonersh, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Questions from Wonersh
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Wonersh?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work near Chilworth station?
Yes. Chilworth station is about 1.5 miles north-east of Wonersh, and we cover both.
How do I get a quote?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Does a survey leave holes?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Do you cover Wonersh?
Yes, we do: Wonersh is within the area we cover in Surrey. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts normally need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you manage or own a block in Wonersh, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
After the job
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Some practical advice:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.

Weighing up your options
A survey or a sample test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why choose us
- Condition assessed for every material
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Domestic and commercial work
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance

The scope of an asbestos survey
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
- Cement sheets and cladding
A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. It’s licensed work.
What happens
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. We seal up each sample point. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- The surveyor inspects and takes samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- You get the report, and we talk you through it
Preparing for the visit
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Let us know where we can park
Getting a price
You’ll get a written quote. Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.

Typical surveys in Wonersh
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
These are some of the things we deal with in Wonersh:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Pre-work surveys for trades
Schools such as Bramley CofE Aided Infant School and Nursery are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is generally where that starts.
