Where asbestos turns up
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Public and community buildings
If you let flats or houses near Shawford station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
What your quote should include
- Which areas and materials are covered
- VAT, clearly stated
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
A closer look at the materials
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. It’s licensed work.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.

Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Looking after things afterwards
Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
Once we are done:
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Don’ts
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.

A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Questions from Baybridge
Can you survey a school or hall near Baybridge?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover small places like Baybridge?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
