Asbestos survey near Artington
Before you buy, build or let in Artington, it helps to know what’s in the building. We look, sample and record, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory. Typical jobs include planned refurbishment work and buying a property built before 2000, involving boiler cupboard panels, water tanks and flues.
Village properties around Artington often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Choosing the right option
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. 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. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Looking after things afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
A few practical points:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Don’ts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.

What else we do in Artington
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you run a business from older premises in Artington, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What happens
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- You receive a written report with locations, results, condition and recommendations
How to prepare
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Common reasons for surveys in Artington
The danger generally comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Community buildings and halls
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects

Common questions in Artington
Do you cover Artington from London?
We cover Artington, about 29 miles from central London.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Who needs a management survey?
It’s typically needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
