About our asbestos survey in Burgh Heath
Any building in Burgh Heath built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. Typical jobs include shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, including boiler cupboard panels, pipe lagging and soffits.
Around a village like Burgh Heath, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Burgh Heath questions
Do you come out to small villages like Burgh Heath?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you survey a school or hall near Burgh Heath?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
What does the survey report include?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.

Altering an older house in Burgh Heath, wherever it is? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.

What we do and don’t cover
Worth knowing before you book:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
After we’ve finished in Burgh Heath
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Book the survey before booking builders
Things not to do
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
How we price an asbestos survey
We base our quote on:
- How easy it is to reach
- The building’s size and layout
- The survey type
- How many outbuildings are included
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Sending photos
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A rough size or measurement
- The parking area
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Share the postcode, a short description and photos: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Which option is right?
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.

- Across London and the South East
- Every main survey type

What it might be made of
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, so a lab result is essential.
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
How it works
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report and explain the findings
How to prepare
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Find any old asbestos reports
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
