Our asbestos survey in GU30
If a building in GU30 dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. Typical materials include boiler cupboard panels, floor tiles and pipe lagging, and typical jobs are purchases of older homes and buildings and common parts of flats and HMOs.
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report with results and recommendations
What you’ll pay
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why people choose us
- Condition ratings, not just a list

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Options to consider in GU30
The cheapest survey isn’t always the best value. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, so you’re comparing like with like.
What your quote should include
- Which areas and materials are covered
- The number of samples
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
Good to know
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
Common reasons for surveys in GU30
Over time, materials deteriorate: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, and the survey assesses condition.
These are some of the things we deal with in GU30:
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Public and community buildings
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Demolition and strip-out
Duty holders and landlords in GU30
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Common questions in GU30
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Is a survey needed before building work in GU30?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
