Asbestos survey in Aston
Questions from Aston
Do you cover small places like Aston?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Aston from London?
Aston is about 62 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Will the survey damage the property?
Only minimally for a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Do you cover Aston?
Yes, we do: our area includes Aston and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Aston?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you are about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. We will recommend one when you tell us what you’re planning.
Asbestos survey in Aston
Managing agents and landlords in Aston use surveys so trades know what to avoid. From pre-purchase checks on older properties and rented homes due for maintenance, we deal with pipe lagging, textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Village surveys around Aston can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

After the job
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Book the survey before booking builders
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Avoid these
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
How we price an asbestos survey
Every quote reflects:
- How easy it is to reach
- The type of material and its condition
- How many outbuildings are included
- The quantity or area
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- An idea of size
- Labels, if any
- The access route
Not sure what you need? Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page and describe the problem, and we will recommend the right option.
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Choosing the right option
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why people choose us
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Clear written quotes

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
