Questions from Bishop's Sutton
Do you come out to small villages like Bishop's Sutton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you survey a school or hall near Bishop's Sutton?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Is a survey needed before building work in Bishop's Sutton?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts usually need one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What does the survey report include?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation.
Where asbestos turns up
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. Most duty holders commission a survey to meet that duty.
These are some of the things we deal with in Bishop's Sutton:
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
Non-domestic buildings, Perins School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos.

Helpful guides
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.

Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- The survey scope
- How much sampling is needed
- Material and condition
- Parking and access charges
Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Labels, if any
- Approximate dimensions
Include any existing survey or test when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
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.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Weighing up your options
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, before deciding. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why choose us
- Clear written quotes
- Practical recommendations
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
