Asbestos survey for Wyke properties
Before you buy, build or let in Wyke, it helps to know what’s in the building. Our surveyor inspects, samples and records, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory. People often contact us about rented homes between tenancies and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises, including garage roofs, boiler cupboard panels and flues.
Village houses like those in Wyke have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Wyke questions
Do older homes in Wyke have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Wyke can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Wyke from London?
Wyke is about 31 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Does a survey leave holes?
Only minimally for a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Do you cover Wyke?
We do: our area includes Wyke and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
For businesses and landlords in Wyke
If you run a business from older premises in Wyke, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Why people call us in Wyke
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.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Demolition and strip-out
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
Halls and leisure centres near Wyke fall into the non-domestic category, where the duty to manage asbestos applies.

Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
The scope of an asbestos survey
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning

A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
How it works
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. While we work, the area stays out of bounds.

- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
