Asbestos survey for Clayhall
Asbestos survey near Clayhall
Plenty of older buildings, in Clayhall as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. A survey tells you which situation you are in. Typical jobs include contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, involving textured ceilings, water tanks and pipe lagging.
In a smaller place like Clayhall, surveys are often for family homes before renovation, with garages and outbuildings included, because cement sheet roofs are common on older garages. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, which is why sampling matters.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
