Asbestos survey near Bisley

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. Whether it’s workplaces built before 2000 and buying a property built before 2000, we deal with floor tiles, soffits and boiler cupboard panels and more.

In Bisley, we often survey a house together with its garage, sheds and lean-tos, since those are where cement sheet roofs tend to be. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Can I do it myself?

With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Options to consider in Bisley

Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, which is why surveying first tends to save money. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

Common questions in Bisley

Could my house in Bisley contain asbestos?

If your home in Bisley was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do you survey schools and community buildings around Bisley?

Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.

Can you quote from photos?

Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.

Who needs a management survey?

It’s normally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too, to know what’s there before work.

Will I get the price in writing?

Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?

Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.

What if asbestos is found during building work?

Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.

Is asbestos dangerous?

Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.

Materials, one by one

Floor tiles and adhesive

Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.

Asbestos cement

Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.

The scope of an asbestos survey

Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:

Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

What we deal with

Floor tiles and adhesive
Water tanks and flues
Cement sheets and cladding
Soffits and porch canopies
Pipe lagging
Ceiling tiles
Artex and textured coatings

For businesses and landlords in Bisley

If you run a business from older premises in Bisley, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

If you manage or own a block in Bisley, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.

Afterwards

Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.

After the job, keep these in mind:

Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Book the survey before you book builders

Avoid these

Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.

Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.

The process

For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and keeps dust to a minimum.
