Do I need an asbestos survey in Haslemere?
Asbestos materials were commonly used in the town well into the late 90s and it is still common to find it within homes and commercial properties. The guidance from Waverley Borough Council is clear – when in doubt, seek advice from a qualified asbestos professional.
The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012) was introduced to combat the high mortality rates associated with asbestos exposure in the UK. The legislation aims to reduce human exposure to asbestos through continued management and surveys. In short, if you own or are looking to purchase a domestic or non-domestic property in Haslemere, you might need an asbestos survey.
If you’re still unsure whether your property in the town of Haslemere needs an asbestos survey, contact one of our team who will be more than happy to help.

What type of asbestos surveys do you provide in Haslemere?
There are two types of asbestos surveys that are typically used in the UK – Asbestos Management Surveys and Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys. We also offer our Re-Inspection Survey for continued asbestos management. The aim of an asbestos survey is to find Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) and record what type of asbestos it is, where and how accessible the ACM is, the condition it’s in and any surface treatment.
To determine the type of asbestos in your Haslemere-based property, a sample will have to be taken but this is typically non-intrusive. If you do find asbestos in your property, see our blog on what you should do.
Asbestos Management
Surveys
An asbestos management survey is used to locate the presence and extent of any Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) in a property.
Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys
A refurbishment and demolition survey is a legal requirement when a building (or part of it) is to be refurbished or demolished.
Re-inspection
Surveys
Asbestos re-inspection surveys are used every 6-12 months in order to comply with the Control of Asbestos Regulations.
Pre Purchase
Surveys
Recommended prior to purchasing a property for a comprehensive overview of your new home or building.
Commercial
Surveys
If you own or control any commercial property built prior to the year 2000, you must hold an asbestos survey by law.
Domestic
Surveys
Residential properties built after the year 2000 aren’t legally required to have a survey, but asbestos was still being used after this date.
“Blue Star attended the property at the agreed time and carried out a very thorough inspection. Chris was hugely knowledgeable and certainly expanded our understanding of asbestos and its uses.”
