Asbestos survey near Blendon
What we do and do not cover
Before booking, note that:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
Asbestos survey for Blendon properties

Duty holders and landlords in Blendon
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you manage or own a block in Blendon, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
What happens
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Before we arrive
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

A survey or a sample test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What affects the price in Blendon
What changes the cost:
- The number of materials to sample
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The type of material and its condition
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- How we’d reach it
- Labels, if any
- The parking area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises

Blendon questions
Do you work near Albany Park station?
Yes. Albany Park station is about 0.8 miles south of Blendon, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Blendon have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Blendon may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How can I get a price?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you are about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.
