Asbestos survey in KT23: what to expect
If you’re buying a home or building in KT23 from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, which helps you plan and budget for any work. Typical jobs include contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and workplaces built before 2000, involving soffits, boiler cupboard panels and floor tiles.
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.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next

A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, typically well bound in.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Looking after things afterwards
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Your options compared
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment normally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas.
Before booking anyone
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples

Questions from KT23
Do you cover KT23?
We do: KT23 is within the area we cover in Surrey. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Does a survey leave holes?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
