Don’ts
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.

How we price an asbestos survey
When we quote, we look at:
- The quantity or area
- What the material is and its state
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- The building’s size and layout
Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An idea of size
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.

Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Chilton Green must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

FAQs for Chilton Green
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Chilton Green?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do older homes in Chilton Green have asbestos?
If your home in Chilton Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Is a survey needed before building work in Chilton Green?
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.
Good to know

- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
