Good to know
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
After the job
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Survey first, then book the trades
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
Things not to do
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, generally well bound in.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Burchett's Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Burchett's Green from London?
We cover Burchett's Green, about 30 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Burchett's Green homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Burchett's Green can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

How we work
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- You receive a written report with locations, results, condition and recommendations
How to prepare
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
Ask for a quote
