After the job
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
To avoid problems in future:
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Things not to do
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
About our asbestos survey in Bramley
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Bramley must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. From schools, halls and community buildings and purchases of older homes and buildings, we deal with textured ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboard panels.
A survey in Bramley typically covers the house and its outbuildings, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Bramley
How far is Bramley from London?
Bramley is about 43 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Bramley homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Will the survey damage the property?
Only minimally for a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Do you work in Bramley?
We do: our area includes Bramley and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
It’s normally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Bramley were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
