Asbestos survey in KT24: what to expect
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey covers a building in everyday use, while a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before work starts. We will tell you which suits your plans in KT24. People often contact us about shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, involving floor tiles, textured ceilings and soffits.
Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, before going to an accredited laboratory.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- 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
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
What you will pay
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Asbestos surveys across KT24
From East Horsley, West Horsley and Little Bookham to 1 villages and hamlets, buildings across KT24 range from terraces and estates to farms and industrial units, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. In towns we survey homes and businesses; in villages, outbuildings too.
East Horsley: For a school like The Raleigh School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder. If you have an older property in East Horsley, near Church of St Martin or anywhere else, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.
Weighing up your options
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t generally take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap.
Questions to ask before booking
- The number of samples
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- If the price includes VAT
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
What happens next
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Common reasons for surveys in KT24
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. A survey is the usual way to do that.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Checks on rental property
How we price an asbestos survey

Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

- Labels, if any
- Where we could park

KT24: your questions answered
How do I get a quote?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Which asbestos survey do I need in KT24?
That depends on what you’re planning: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we’ll advise.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Who needs a management survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings generally starts with one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
