Why asbestos needs checking in Addlestone properties
Addlestone has a substantial mix of inter-war semis, post-war housing and extended family properties. Original garages, boiler spaces, floor finishes and roofline materials can remain in place beneath later improvements. A survey provides the evidence needed to make an informed decision before work starts — whether you are reconfiguring a KT15 property, starting a kitchen project, or renewing a garage roof.

Five asbestos materials commonly identified in KT15
The material and its condition determine the correct next step. A competent survey distinguishes between materials that can be managed safely and those requiring controlled removal.
Asbestos cement
Often found in garage roofs, side panels and garden outbuildings.
Cement products are often lower-risk when intact, but drilling, breaking, weathering damage or removal can release fibres.
Textured coatings
Often found in textured ceilings and wall finishes.
The material cannot be confirmed safely by appearance alone; sampling should happen before scraping, sanding or removal.
Asbestos insulating board
Often found in soffits, cupboards and fire-protection board.
AIB can release fibres more readily when cut, drilled, broken or disturbed during refurbishment.
Vinyl floor tiles and adhesive
Often found in vinyl tiles and adhesive beneath modern floor coverings.
Tiles and adhesive can be concealed beneath newer coverings, so uplift work should be planned around a suitable survey.
Pipe lagging
Often found in older heating routes and boiler-related insulation.
Lagging is generally higher-risk where damaged or degraded and must be assessed before work on the system begins.
When to arrange an asbestos survey in Addlestone
Before refurbishment
A refurbishment survey identifies asbestos where planned work will disturb the building fabric.
Before a property purchase
A pre-purchase survey helps establish asbestos risk before contracts are exchanged.
When a material is damaged
Avoid disturbing cracked, frayed or weathered suspect material; arrange an assessment first.
Before garage or roof work
Cement sheets and related materials should be identified before re-roofing or demolition.
Before contractors arrive
Survey information gives tradespeople the evidence they need to work safely around known ACMs.
When a previous survey is outdated
Re-inspection helps keep an asbestos register accurate as materials age or conditions change.

Addlestone is a Surrey town in the KT15 postcode area, situated between Chertsey and Weybridge. Its housing stock spans Victorian properties through to 1980s developments. Properties of this age are very likely to contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). The most common materials we encounter in Addlestone include asbestos cement garage roofs, shed panels, artex textured ceilings, vinyl floor tiles, and asbestos insulation board (AIB) around boilers.
Addlestone has a significant number of post-war properties built between 1945 and 1975, when asbestos was widely used in construction. Garages, outbuildings, and flat-roofed extensions from this period frequently contain asbestos cement sheeting and asbestos insulation board.
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, the removal of most asbestos-containing materials requires an licensed contractor. We hold a current licence, carry UKATA-certified operatives, and arrange independent UKAS-accredited clearance on every licensed job.
