Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.

Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.

- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- Which survey type fits your plans
- How many samples are needed
- The quantity or area
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Book the survey before booking builders
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Don’ts
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Options to consider in Church Hanborough
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, so surveying first is generally cheaper in the end. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

Common questions in Church Hanborough
Do you cover Church Hanborough from London?
Church Hanborough is about 59 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Church Hanborough?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
