AsbestosCertified arranges BOHS P402-qualified asbestos surveys across Guildford and the wider Guildford and Surrey area. Surveys are carried out in accordance with HSG264 — Asbestos: The Survey Guide — and all bulk samples are analysed by a UKAS-accredited laboratory. Written reports are issued within 48 hours of the survey visit.
Guildford and the surrounding area contains a mix of pre-war and post-war residential and commercial properties. Any building constructed before November 1999 may contain asbestos-containing materials.
An asbestos management survey is required for all non-domestic buildings in Guildford built before the year 2000, under the duty-to-manage requirements of Regulation 4, CAR 2012. The survey locates and assesses all accessible asbestos-containing materials during normal building occupation and produces a formal asbestos register and management report.
Duty-to-manage: If you own or manage a commercial building in Guildford built before 2000, you are likely a duty holder under CAR 2012 Regulation 4. A management survey is the foundation of your legal compliance obligation.
If you are planning any renovation, extension, loft conversion, or demolition work on a pre-2000 property in Guildford, a refurbishment and demolition survey is a legal requirement under Regulation 7, CAR 2012, before intrusive works begin. This is a fully intrusive survey covering all areas affected by the proposed works, including voids, structural elements, and service ducts.
Residential survey and testing is available throughout Guildford and the surrounding Surrey area. Common reasons for residential surveys in Surrey include pre-purchase due diligence on older properties, lender or insurer requirements, and preparation for renovation works. Standalone bulk sample testing for specific materials — such as Artex ceilings, floor tiles, or garage roof sheets — can also be arranged without a full survey.
