Asbestos survey in Coneyhurst
About to refurbish in Coneyhurst? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. Whether it’s contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and checks on rental property, we cover garage roofs, water tanks and floor tiles.
In a village like Coneyhurst, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

What we do and do not cover
The usual limits are:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

What we deal with in Coneyhurst
Over time, materials deteriorate: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, which a survey records.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Shops, offices and industrial units
For a school like The Weald School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register.
What to look for in a quote
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- The number of samples
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
What affects the price in Coneyhurst
Every quote reflects:
- How many outbuildings are included
- Travel and parking
- The survey scope
- Access to the area
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Sending photos
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Where we could park
- Visible markings
For a quote, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What happens next
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
After we’ve finished:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Don’ts
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
FAQs for Coneyhurst
How far is Coneyhurst from London?
Coneyhurst is about 37 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Coneyhurst homes?
Any home in Coneyhurst built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts generally need one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
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, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
What will I get after the survey?
A record of every suspect material in scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.

What else we do in Coneyhurst
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
