Asbestos survey for Chartwell Green
Looking after things afterwards
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Don’ts
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Asbestos survey in Chartwell Green
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building in Chartwell Green, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. Typical jobs include common parts of flats and HMOs and surveys requested by builders before work, involving pipe lagging, floor tiles and water tanks.
A survey in Chartwell Green typically covers the house and its outbuildings, since those are where cement sheet roofs tend to be. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Chartwell Green questions
Do you work near Swaythling station?
Yes. Swaythling station is about 1.4 miles north-west of Chartwell Green, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Chartwell Green homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
