Good to know

To be clear about the scope:

A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time

Service details

Asbestos survey in Awbridge

Any building in Awbridge built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. From shops, offices and industrial units and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects, we cover flues, textured ceilings and boiler cupboard panels and more.

Around a village like Awbridge, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Looking after things afterwards

Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.

To avoid problems in future:

Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings

What to avoid

Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.

Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.

What we deal with in Awbridge

It is not only big projects that disturb asbestos: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it.

Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:

Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
Common parts of flats and HMOs
Public and community buildings
Rented homes due for maintenance

Schools such as Awbridge 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.

Choosing an asbestos contractor

What it might be made of

Pipe lagging

If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.

Asbestos cement

Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.

Options to consider in Awbridge

A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

DIY and asbestos

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
