How asbestos survey works in Ash Green
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, whichever fits your plans in Ash Green. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. Whether it’s demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and checks on rental property, we cover floor tiles, garage roofs and soffits and more.
Around a village like Ash Green, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What’s included, and what is not
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
What it costs
What drives the price:
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The survey type
- The building’s size and layout
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- Where we could park
- Approximate dimensions
- How we’d reach it
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces

FAQs for Ash Green
Do older homes in Ash Green have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Ash Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t normally sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts usually need one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.

Where asbestos turns up
It is not only big projects that disturb asbestos: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Community buildings and halls
- Demolition and strip-out
- Surveys requested by builders before work
Schools such as Ash Grange 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 typically where that starts.
What your quote should include
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What you’ll receive in writing
The process
