Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, normally well bound in.
About our asbestos survey in Burroughs Grove
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Burroughs Grove must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is normally the starting point. Typical materials include pipe lagging, boiler cupboard panels and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are the communal parts of blocks of flats and pre-purchase checks on older properties.
Village houses like those in Burroughs Grove have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Each job is priced individually. To start, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
After the job
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
A few practical points:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Book the survey before you book builders
Things not to do
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.

Common questions in Burroughs Grove
Do you come out to small villages like Burroughs Grove?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Burroughs Grove from London?
Burroughs Grove is about 29 miles from central London, well within our area.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is a survey needed before building work in Burroughs Grove?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not typically sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Burroughs Grove?
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. Tell us more and we’ll advise.

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Weighing up your options
The cheapest survey is not always the best value. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, before deciding. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
