How asbestos survey works in Broad Oak
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building in Broad Oak, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. Typical materials include boiler cupboard panels, pipe lagging and floor tiles, and people normally contact us about managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms.
In a village like Broad Oak, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

The scope of an asbestos survey
The usual limits are:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Helpful guides
Broad Oak: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Broad Oak?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Broad Oak from London?
We cover Broad Oak, about 39 miles from central London.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings typically starts with one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, which is why sampling matters.
After we’ve finished in Broad Oak
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
After we have finished:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Survey first, then book the trades
What to avoid
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.

Prices and what affects them

- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A rough size or measurement
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The parking area
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
To get a quote, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Which option is right?
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment usually needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why us?
- The right survey for your plans
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
