How asbestos survey works in GU19
A survey isn’t just a list of what’s there. It records the condition of each material, so you know what can be left and managed and what needs dealing with. We often deal with pipe lagging, textured ceilings and boiler cupboard panels, and people typically contact us about kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and the communal parts of blocks of flats.
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you’re planning
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- The surveyor inspects and takes samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report and explain the findings

Town surveys are often for homes and businesses; rural surveys often include outbuildings.
Bagshot: Altering an older house in Bagshot, wherever it is? Survey the areas you’re working on before work starts. If you’re a landlord near Bagshot station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
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
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. It’s licensed work.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, normally bound in the bitumen.
What we do and don’t cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- Travel and parking
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How big the building is
- The survey type
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Photos that help
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- An idea of size
- How we’d reach it
- Cracks or breaks
- An overall view

Questions from GU19
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not usually sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Which asbestos survey do I need in GU19?
That depends on what you’re planning: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Describe the work and we’ll recommend one.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
