Why asbestos needs checking in Chertsey properties
Chertsey includes period homes, post-war estates and newer properties built around older building fabric. In homes that pre-date 2000, planned garage upgrades, kitchen refits and service alterations may bring concealed asbestos-containing materials into scope. A survey provides the evidence needed to make an informed decision before work starts — whether you are renovating a KT16 family home, replacing an outbuilding roof, or preparing premises for new tenants.
Before 2000
Properties built or refurbished before 2000 may contain asbestos.
5 common ACMs

Five asbestos materials commonly identified in KT16
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 corrugated garages, sheds and external cement products.
Cement products are often lower-risk when intact, but drilling, breaking, weathering damage or removal can release fibres.
Textured coatings
Often found in textured ceiling and wall coatings in original rooms.
The material cannot be confirmed safely by appearance alone; sampling should happen before scraping, sanding or removal.
Asbestos insulating board
Often found in service risers, partition boards and soffit linings.
AIB can release fibres more readily when cut, drilled, broken or disturbed during refurbishment.
Vinyl floor tiles and adhesive
Often found in hallway, kitchen and utility-room tile finishes.
Tiles and adhesive can be concealed beneath newer coverings, so uplift work should be planned around a suitable survey.
Pipe lagging
Often found in pipework, boiler connections and heat-resistant lagging.
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 Chertsey
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.

Chertsey is a Surrey town in the KT16 postcode area, situated on the River Thames between Staines 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 Chertsey include asbestos cement garage roofs, shed panels, artex textured ceilings, vinyl floor tiles, and asbestos insulation board (AIB) around boilers.
Chertsey 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.
