Your questions about an asbestos survey in Broadfield
Is asbestos common in Broadfield homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Broadfield from London?
Broadfield is about 28 miles from central London, well within our area.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
What will I get after the survey?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Areas not accessed are listed too.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Weighing up your options
A survey or a sample test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Duty holders and landlords in Broadfield
If your business premises in Broadfield were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Typical surveys in Broadfield
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
In older properties, we often see:
- Community buildings and halls
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Planned refurbishment work
Planning work on an older building in Broadfield, whether near Christ The Lord or elsewhere? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.
