Common questions in Bar End
Do you cover Bar End from London?
We cover Bar End, about 61 miles from central London.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Bar End?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not typically sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts typically need one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.

How we work
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. We seal up each sample point. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report with results and recommendations
Before we arrive
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
Getting a price
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

What happens next
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Going forward:
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
What to avoid
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Where asbestos turns up
Materials age: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, and the survey assesses condition.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Demolition projects
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
