Asbestos survey near Broomer's Corner
About to refurbish in Broomer's Corner? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. Typical materials include textured ceilings, pipe lagging and soffits, and people generally contact us about workplaces built before 2000 and planned refurbishment work.
Village properties around Broomer's Corner often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Broomer's Corner
Do you come out to small villages like Broomer's Corner?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Broomer's Corner contain asbestos?
Any home in Broomer's Corner built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts typically need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Is a survey needed before building work in Broomer's Corner?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.

How we price an asbestos survey
We base our quote on:
- The survey type
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The quantity or area
- How big the building is
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What to photograph
What to photograph:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Approximate dimensions
- A clear close-up
- Cracks or breaks
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Afterwards
Any areas not accessed are listed, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
Some practical advice:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
What to avoid
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What we deal with in Broomer's Corner
The danger typically comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.

Step by step
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- 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
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps
Getting ready
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Warn neighbours if needed
Getting a price
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 to get started.

A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Weighing up your options
A survey or a sample test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
