Why asbestos needs checking in Warlingham properties
Warlingham’s village properties, 1930s homes and detached family houses have often been extended over several decades. Garages, rooflines, service areas and original finishes should be assessed before building work exposes them. A survey provides the evidence needed to make an informed decision before work starts — whether you are improving a village property, altering an outbuilding, or planning a CR6 extension.

Five asbestos materials commonly identified in CR6
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 and outbuilding roofs, wall panels and guttering.
Cement products are often lower-risk when intact, but drilling, breaking, weathering damage or removal can release fibres.
Textured coatings
Often found in textured coatings in older living areas and bedrooms.
The material cannot be confirmed safely by appearance alone; sampling should happen before scraping, sanding or removal.
Asbestos insulating board
Often found in soffits, partition panels and boiler-cupboard linings.
AIB can release fibres more readily when cut, drilled, broken or disturbed during refurbishment.
Vinyl floor tiles and adhesive
Often found in older tiles and adhesive beneath replacement floor 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 legacy boiler systems and heating pipe runs.
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 Warlingham
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When a previous survey is outdated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.

Warlingham is a Surrey village situated on the North Downs, bordering the London Borough of Croydon. Its housing stock ranges from Victorian cottages and Edwardian villas to 1930s semi-detached houses and post-war development. This mix of pre-1980 housing means asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are commonly found across CR6. The most frequent finds are asbestos cement garage roofs, artex textured ceilings, asbestos insulating board (AIB) in soffits and boiler cupboards, and vinyl floor tiles.
Asbestos was not fully banned in the UK until 24 November 1999. Any Warlingham property built or substantially refurbished before that date may contain asbestos. The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012) requires that all asbestos work is carried out by competent, trained operatives — and that licensed work is undertaken only by licensed contractors.
Do Not Disturb Suspected Asbestos
If you suspect asbestos in your Warlingham property, do not drill, sand, or break the material. Request a survey before any renovation work.
