Asbestos survey across GU7
Our surveys in GU7 cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. We often deal with soffits, boiler cupboard panels and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are workplaces built before 2000 and purchases of older homes and buildings.
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards.

Where we survey in GU7
From Godalming, Farncombe and Aaron's Hill to 6 villages and hamlets, buildings across GU7 range from terraces and estates to farms and industrial units, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. Town surveys are often for homes and businesses; rural surveys often include outbuildings.
Godalming: Non-domestic buildings, Moss Lane School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos. If you’re a landlord near Godalming station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
Typical surveys in GU7
You cannot tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
These come up again and again:
- Demolition and strip-out
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
What happens next
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Book the survey before you book builders
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- How many different materials need sampling
- The building’s size and layout
- The survey type
- How much there is
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Sending photos
For a quick quote, include:
- Street parking nearby
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Visible markings
- Cracks or breaks

The scope of an asbestos survey
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
GU7 questions
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Who needs a management survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings normally starts with one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Does a survey leave holes?
Very little, in a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
