Asbestos might be a hidden danger in many buildings across Esher, especially those built or refurbished before the year 2000. For property owners, understanding its presence isn't just about legal compliance; it’s about protecting health, preventing costly delays, and making sure your building project runs smoothly. An asbestos survey gives you a clear picture, identifying where asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are, what condition they're in, and what steps you need to take. It provides real peace of mind and avoids unexpected problems down the line.

When dealing with something as serious as asbestos, you need a qualified, local team you can fully trust. We are committed to providing a safe, reliable, and transparent service for every client in Esher and the surrounding areas. Southern Asbestos holds full Public Liability Insurance, and all our work strictly follows HSE guidelines and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012). Our technicians are fully trained and have years of hands-on experience identifying, managing, and removing ACMs in a vast variety of properties. We also hold a valid Waste Carriers Licence, making sure all asbestos waste is handled and disposed of legally and responsibly, protecting both your property and the environment.

Identifying the location, type, and condition of asbestos is always the critical first step. Our thorough surveys give you all the information you need to manage risk and stay compliant with the law. We offer a full range of survey options:

• Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: An essential check before you buy a property in Esher, identifying potential hidden asbestos costs and safety risks that could affect your investment.
• Asbestos Management Surveys: This is a legal requirement for all non-domestic properties. We find any ACMs, assess their condition, and create a report and register to help you manage them safely, keeping your building occupants safe and meeting your legal duties.
• Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys: A legally mandated, intrusive survey that absolutely must be completed before any construction, refurbishment, or demolition work begins. It pinpoints all asbestos before work starts, preventing fibre release during disruption.
• Asbestos Re-inspections: We can carry out scheduled re-inspections to monitor the condition of previously identified asbestos, making sure your management plan stays current and effective.
