Asbestos survey near Bramdean
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
How asbestos survey works in Bramdean
Buying an older property in Bramdean? A pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, so you can plan renovations with your eyes open. People often contact us about managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and demolition and strip-out, including soffits, flues and water tanks.
Village houses like those in Bramdean have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Afterwards
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
What to avoid
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.

Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before you book:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning

Helpful guides
Can I do it myself?
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.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Weighing up your options
A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Common questions in Bramdean
Do you cover Bramdean from London?
We cover Bramdean, about 54 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Bramdean?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If your business premises in Bramdean were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
