Asbestos survey for Bure Park
Duty holders and landlords in Bure Park
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If your business premises in Bure Park were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
How asbestos survey works in Bure Park
If you’re buying a home or building in Bure Park from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, which helps you plan and budget for any work. Whether it’s demolition and strip-out and public and community buildings, we cover textured ceilings, pipe lagging and floor tiles.
Homes in areas like Bure Park range from older cottages to post-war and later houses, and anything altered before 2000 may contain asbestos. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, generally well bound in.
Weighing up your options
Do you need a full survey, or just a 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.
What you get
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys

Limits to be aware of
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we see
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen

Prices and what affects them
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- The building’s size and layout
- The quantity or area
- How many outbuildings are included
- The type of material and its condition
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Sending photos
For a quick quote, include:

- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Bure Park
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Bure Park?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Could my house in Bure Park contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Bure Park may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
What will I get after the survey?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Does a survey leave holes?
Only minimally for a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Looking after things afterwards
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
Avoid these
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
