Asbestos survey in KT10: what to expect
We survey the whole building or just the areas you’re working on, whichever fits your plans in KT10. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. Typical materials include water tanks, floor tiles and pipe lagging, and typical jobs are demolition projects and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms.
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you are planning
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- You get the report, and we talk you through it

Where we survey in KT10
Across KT10, we survey houses, flats, workplaces and buildings before demolition, in Esher, Molesey and Hook and in the 3 smaller villages and hamlets.
Esher: Leisure centres, halls and other public buildings around Esher are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies. If you manage lettings around Esher station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
The scope of an asbestos survey
A few things to be aware of:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Choosing the right option
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed.
Before you book anyone
- VAT, clearly stated
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Which areas and materials are covered
- The scope, in writing
What it costs
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- How much there is
- Material and condition
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

After we have finished in KT10
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in KT10
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
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.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
