Asbestos survey for Ansteadbrook properties
We survey the whole building or just the areas you’re working on, depending on what you need. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. Typical materials include flues, textured ceilings and garage roofs, and typical jobs are surveys requested by builders before work and community buildings and halls.
Village houses like those in Ansteadbrook have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What drives the price:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How big the building is
- How many different materials need sampling
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Your options compared
Management or refurbishment and demolition? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. Our guide explains which you need. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What you get
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Work done to the regulations
- Covering London and the South East
- Every main survey type
Read how we price jobs and published price ranges.
Afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
A few practical points:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
What to avoid
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
The process
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- You receive a written report with locations, results, condition and recommendations
Preparing for the visit
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know where we can park

Common questions in Ansteadbrook
How far is Ansteadbrook from London?
We cover Ansteadbrook, about 38 miles from central London.
Could my house in Ansteadbrook contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Ansteadbrook may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What does the survey report include?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Does a survey leave holes?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
