What happens next
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
What to avoid
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Asbestos survey near Bishopsgate
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, depending on what you need. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. People often contact us about the communal parts of blocks of flats and shops, offices and industrial units, involving pipe lagging, soffits and water tanks.
In a village like Bishopsgate, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Bishopsgate questions
Do you cover Bishopsgate and the area around Egham station?
Yes. Egham station is about 1.8 miles east of Bishopsgate, and we cover both.
Do you cover Bishopsgate from London?
We cover Bishopsgate, about 22 miles from central London.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What does the survey report include?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Duty holders and landlords in Bishopsgate
For managing agents and freeholders in Bishopsgate, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building, which is why surveys are systematic.
These are some of the things we deal with in Bishopsgate:
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Public and community buildings
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
Altering an older house in Bishopsgate, wherever it is? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.

Good to know
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Common materials
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
The process
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive a written report with locations, results, condition and recommendations
How to prepare
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
