Responsibilities for owners

Asbestos survey for Chute Forest properties
Planning building work in Chute Forest? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. People often contact us about public and community buildings and demolition and strip-out, including boiler cupboard panels, water tanks and soffits.
Village houses like those in Chute Forest have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we deal with
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
Choosing the right option
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why us?
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Records for your files
- Clear advice on your options
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
Read how we price jobs and published price ranges.
What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Parking and access charges
- Material and condition
- How big the building is
Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An idea of size
- Visible markings
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you’re planning. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Chute Forest: your questions answered
Do you cover Chute Forest from London?
We cover Chute Forest, about 65 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Chute Forest have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Chute Forest may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
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.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats usually do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
