Looking after things afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Book the survey before booking builders
Avoid these
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
How we price an asbestos survey
What changes the cost:
- How much there is
- The size and age of the building
- Access to the area
- What the material is and its state
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A clear close-up
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Street parking nearby
- How we’d reach it
Include any existing survey or test when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
FAQs for Boughton Corner
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Boughton Corner?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover small places like Boughton Corner?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t usually sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Weighing up your options
The cheapest survey isn’t always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, so you are comparing like with like. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
