FAQs for Crooked Billet
Is asbestos common in Crooked Billet homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Crooked Billet?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Crooked Billet?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you are about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Crooked Billet, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Choosing the right option
A survey or a sample test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why choose us
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Records for your files
- Every main survey type
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
Take a look at how we quote and published price ranges.
What we do and do not cover
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and does not cover:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
