Asbestos survey for Blissford
How asbestos survey works in Blissford
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey covers a building in everyday use, while a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before work starts. We will help you choose the right one for your survey in Blissford. Whether it’s rented homes between tenancies and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises, we cover floor tiles, flues and garage roofs.
Village surveys around Blissford can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Looking after things afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Things not to do
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.

Common questions in Blissford
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Blissford?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you cover small places like Blissford?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.

- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to the laboratory

Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
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.
What we do and do not cover
To be clear about the scope:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we deal with
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
