Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.

Typical surveys in Adisham
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
These come up again and again:
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Planned refurbishment work
If you are a landlord near Adisham station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.

- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Getting ready
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Let us know if something’s broken

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
For businesses and landlords in Adisham
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
FAQs for Adisham
Do you cover Adisham from London?
Adisham is about 58 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Adisham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Adisham?
It depends on your plans: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we will advise.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Is a survey needed before building work in Adisham?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
What to avoid
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Prices and what affects them
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- How many outbuildings are included
- How much there is
- The building’s size and layout
- The type of material and its condition
Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Sending photos
For a quick quote, include:
- The access route
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- An idea of size
Include any existing survey or test when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Weighing up your options
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, which is why surveying first tends to save money. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
