What happens next
Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
To avoid problems in future:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
Don’ts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
About our asbestos survey in Appleshaw
Our surveys in Appleshaw cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. Whether it’s planned refurbishment work and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, we cover boiler cupboard panels, garage roofs and soffits and more.
Rural homes near Appleshaw have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

What we deal with in Appleshaw
Materials age: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, and the survey assesses condition.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
Schools such as Appleshaw St Peter's CofE Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is generally where that starts.

Options to consider in Appleshaw
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, so surveying first is normally cheaper in the end. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Every main survey type
- Practical recommendations
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

What else we do in Appleshaw
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What’s included, and what isn’t
What’s in and what’s out:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
