OUR PHILOSOPHY

Buying a Home in Farnham? Your Essential Asbestos Survey

When you're looking to buy a new home in Farnham, there's so much to consider – location, schools, garden space. But one vital check many buyers overlook is the potential presence of asbestos. If the property you're considering was built or refurbished before the year 2000, it could contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Discovering asbestos after you've moved in can lead to unexpected costs, delays, and safety worries. Southern Asbestos specialises in Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys, giving you clear answers and peace of mind before you commit.

A standard RICS Homebuyer Report or Building Survey might mention potential asbestos, but it won't include a comprehensive asbestos survey. Our specific survey takes a closer look, identifying any asbestos materials, assessing their condition, and giving you an accurate picture of the risks involved. This information is invaluable. It helps you negotiate the purchase price, budget for any necessary removal or management, and most importantly, understand the safety of your future home. Don't let hidden asbestos become your problem; get the facts upfront.

Southern Asbestos offers a reliable and professional asbestos survey service right here in Farnham and across the wider Surrey area. Our local knowledge means we understand the types of properties common in this region and where asbestos might typically be found. Our experienced technicians are fully trained and committed to providing a transparent, safe, and efficient service. We pride ourselves on clear communication and helping home buyers just like you make informed decisions about their property investments.

When you book a Home Buyer Asbestos Survey with us, our certified surveyor will visit the property and conduct a thorough visual inspection. We focus on areas where asbestos was commonly used in domestic properties, such as garage roofs, textured wall and ceiling coatings (like Artex), floor tiles, pipe insulation, and older storage heaters. We take non-destructive samples of any suspected materials, carefully labelling them. These samples then go to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for definitive analysis. We keep disturbance to the property to an absolute minimum during this process.

Fantastic service. We had some old asbestos floor tiles that needed removing. The team was fast, friendly, and very knowledgeable. They handled all the waste disposal and provided the consignment note as promised. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
