Asbestos survey in Ashley Green
Planning building work in Ashley Green? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. We often deal with floor tiles, pipe lagging and garage roofs, and people usually contact us about surveys requested by builders before work and demolition projects.
Village properties around Ashley Green often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Questions from Ashley Green
Can you survey a school or hall near Ashley Green?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
How far is Ashley Green from London?
We cover Ashley Green, about 27 miles from central London.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts typically need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What will I get after the survey?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Areas not accessed are listed too.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Does a survey leave holes?
Only minimally for a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Typical surveys in Ashley Green
You can’t tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Schools, halls and community buildings
Schools such as Ashlyns 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.
Before booking anyone
- The scope, in writing
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- The number of samples
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
What’s included, and what is not
So you know what to expect:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Looking after things afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Going forward:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Avoid these
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
