Asbestos survey in Broad Street
Afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
A few practical points:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Book the survey before you book builders
Don’ts
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Asbestos survey near Broad Street
About to refurbish in Broad Street? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. Typical materials include boiler cupboard panels, soffits and flues, and people normally contact us about kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and rented homes due for maintenance.
Village surveys around Broad Street can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Which option is right?
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not generally take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

- Jobs planned to HSE guidance

FAQs for Broad Street
Do you cover Broad Street and the area around Doleham station?
Yes, we cover Broad Street and the area towards Doleham station, about 1.8 miles west.
Do you cover small places like Broad Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
The scope of an asbestos survey
A few things to be aware of:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we deal with
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive

- Material and condition
- How much there is

- How big the building is
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- An idea of size
- An overall view
- The parking area
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely

Where asbestos turns up
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- The communal parts of blocks of flats

Questions to ask before you book
- Which areas and materials are covered
- VAT, clearly stated
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
Materials, one by one
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.
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, which is why sampling matters.
