Asbestos survey for Wormley properties
For landlords and managing agents in Wormley, a survey gives contractors the information they need before they start. From rented homes due for maintenance and community buildings and halls, we cover pipe lagging, garage roofs and flues and more.
Village houses like those in Wormley have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Wormley buildings and asbestos surveys
Wormley is about 8 miles south of Guildford, in Surrey. Anywhere in Wormley, just send the postcode. We work in 395 places across Surrey. We work right across the region, from Wormley to Guildford (8 miles away).
If you let flats or houses near Witley station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs. Non-domestic buildings, King Edward's School Witley among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder. Wormley is within about 5 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, and rural properties there often have outbuildings worth including in a survey.

Whether your property is on Petworth Road, Robin Way and Brook Road or a nearby road, we can help.

Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
How we work
If a material is damaged, we will say so before we leave, so you can keep people away. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps
Preparing for the visit
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Find any old asbestos reports

Good to know
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, 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
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

After the job
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
After we’ve finished:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
What to avoid
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Weighing up your options
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, which is why surveying first tends to save money. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

Wormley: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Could my house in Wormley contain asbestos?
If your home in Wormley was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
