What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
What it costs
Our quotes take into account:
- The survey type
- Parking and access charges
- The building’s size and layout
- How many different materials need sampling
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
What to photograph
To help us quote quickly, send:
- Where we could park
- How we’d reach it
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A rough size or measurement
Send us the address in Bulphan, a description and some photos: send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Choosing the right option
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- Every main survey type
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Clear next steps
- Covering London and the South East

Good to know
The usual limits are:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Common materials
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive

Bulphan questions
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Bulphan?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Is asbestos common in Bulphan homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Bulphan can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does the survey report include?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
It depends on your plans: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Describe the work and we will recommend one.
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.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
We do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts normally need one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
