Our asbestos survey in GU20
For landlords and managing agents in GU20, a survey gives contractors the information they need before they start, and keeps the asbestos register accurate. We often deal with water tanks, floor tiles and flues, and typical jobs are surveys requested by builders before work and the communal parts of blocks of flats.
Each sample is sealed, labelled and recorded with its location, then sent to an accredited laboratory.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report and explain the findings

Asbestos surveys across GU20

Windlesham: Altering an older house in Windlesham, wherever it is? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first. A school such as Windlesham Village Infant School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- The size of the job
- How much sampling is needed
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- Access to the area
Our quotes are clear about VAT.
What to photograph
What to photograph:
- Cracks or breaks
- An idea of size
- A photo of the whole area
- Visible markings
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
After the job
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Your options compared
A survey or a sample test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed.
Questions to ask before you book
- What you’ll receive in writing
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- The scope of the job, in writing
- If the price includes VAT
Where asbestos turns up
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. Most duty holders commission a survey to meet that duty.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
GU20: your questions answered
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
That depends on what you are planning: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Tell us more and we will advise.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you cover GU20?
Yes, GU20 is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
