Before work begins

Why asbestos needs checking in Ewell properties

Ewell’s Victorian core, inter-war semis and post-war housing have been extensively improved over time. Original garages, boiler cupboards, floor finishes and roofline materials should be identified before planned work disturbs them. A survey provides the evidence needed to make an informed decision before work starts — whether you are undertaking a KT17 renovation, replacing a garage roof, or updating a rental property.

Before 2000

Properties built or refurbished before 2000 may contain asbestos.

5 common ACMs

Roofs, coatings, boards, floors and pipework all need different controls.

CAR 2012

The legal framework governing asbestos management and work controls.

Core body

Five asbestos materials commonly identified in KT17

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 garages, lean-tos, sheds and corrugated cement roofs.

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.

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 partition-board linings.

AIB can release fibres more readily when cut, drilled, broken or disturbed during refurbishment.

Vinyl floor tiles and adhesive

Often found in kitchen, hallway and utility-room tiles beneath newer flooring.

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 boilers, heating runs and pipe insulation.

Lagging is generally higher-risk where damaged or degraded and must be assessed before work on the system begins.

Decision stage

When to arrange an asbestos survey in Ewell

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.

Asbestos in Ewell Properties

Why Ewell Homes Are at Higher Risk

Ewell is one of Surrey's older settlements, with significant residential development occurring throughout the 1930s to 1970s — the period when asbestos was most widely used in British construction. The village's mix of detached and semi-detached homes, many with separate garages and outbuildings, means that asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are frequently encountered during renovation and demolition work.

The most common ACMs in Ewell properties include asbestos cement garage roofs and side panels, Artex textured coatings on ceilings and walls, vinyl floor tiles and their bitumen adhesive backing, and asbestos insulation board in outbuildings, porches, and lean-to extensions. Older properties may also contain pipe lagging around boilers and heating systems, and asbestos rope seals in older appliances.

Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, homeowners and landlords in Ewell have a duty to manage asbestos in their properties. If you are planning renovation work, selling your home, or simply concerned about the condition of suspected ACMs, a professional asbestos survey is the correct first step.

Important: Do Not Disturb Suspected Asbestos

If you suspect asbestos in your Ewell property, do not drill, sand, cut, or otherwise disturb the material. Contact us for a survey before any work begins. Disturbing asbestos releases fibres that can cause mesothelioma — a fatal cancer with no safe exposure threshold.
