Your options compared
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, which is why surveying first tends to save money. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

After we have finished in Crockham Hill
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
Once we are done:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Things not to do
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Step by step
Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- You get a written quote for the agreed scope
- The surveyor inspects and takes samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report and explain the findings
How to prepare
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Crockham Hill were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
