About our asbestos survey in Axmansford
A survey isn’t 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. We often deal with boiler cupboard panels, flues and garage roofs, and people generally contact us about rented homes due for maintenance and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings.
Village properties around Axmansford often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
What happens
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you.
- Get in touch with the address and your plans
- We recommend the right type of survey

- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory

Common questions in Axmansford
Is asbestos common in Axmansford homes?
If your home in Axmansford was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Axmansford from London?
We cover Axmansford, about 48 miles from central London.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Options to consider in Axmansford
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is typically cheaper in the end. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
