Asbestos survey in Brasted
Asbestos survey for Brasted properties
Any building in Brasted built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. Whether it’s workplaces built before 2000 and pre-work surveys for trades, we cover floor tiles, soffits and water tanks.
Properties in areas like Brasted have often been refitted and extended over the decades, so a survey before work looks at later alterations as well as the original fabric. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

For businesses and landlords in Brasted
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
A closer look at the materials
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. 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.

How it works
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Before we arrive
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away on the day

Choosing the right option
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t normally take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

How we price an asbestos survey
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- The type of survey you need
- How much sampling is needed
- Material and condition
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
The most useful photos are:
- An idea of size
- Where we could park
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Not sure what you need? Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we will advise.
Typical surveys in Brasted
You cannot tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
These are some of the things we deal with in Brasted:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Community buildings and halls
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Demolition projects
If you let flats or houses near Dunton Green station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- VAT, clearly stated
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
- What the report or result will contain
Limits to be aware of
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen

Common questions in Brasted
Do you work near Dunton Green station?
Yes. Dunton Green station is about 3.1 miles north-east of Brasted, and we cover both.
Could my house in Brasted contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts generally need one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: 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.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
- 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
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
