Asbestos survey for Asheridge
Asbestos survey for Asheridge properties
A survey is not just a list of what’s there. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work. Whether it’s demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and planned refurbishment work, we deal with soffits, water tanks and flues.
Village surveys around Asheridge can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

What we do and do not cover
Worth knowing before you book:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Responsibilities for owners
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Asheridge, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
If your business premises in Asheridge were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Common reasons for surveys in Asheridge
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building.
These come up again and again:
- Community buildings and halls
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Buying a property built before 2000
A school such as Chartridge Combined School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is normally where that starts.
What your quote should include
- VAT, clearly stated
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- The number of samples

How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Who needs a management survey?
It’s generally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well, to know what’s there before work.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
It depends on your plans: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Describe the work and we’ll recommend one.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Looking after things afterwards
Any areas not accessed are listed, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
Some practical advice:
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Avoid these
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Which option is right?
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. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why us?
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Across London and the South East
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
See our prices page and published price ranges.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
