What we do and do not cover
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Artex and textured coatings

Asbestos survey in Crow
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We will tell you which suits your plans in Crow. Typical jobs include shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and public and community buildings, involving water tanks, boiler cupboard panels and floor tiles.
Village properties around Crow often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, 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, so you have a record.

Can I do it myself?
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, so avoid them completely.
Your options compared
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so planned refurbishment normally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

After the job
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
A few practical points:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Book the survey before booking builders
Don’ts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Crow: your questions answered
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Crow?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do older homes in Crow have asbestos?
Any home in Crow built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do you cover Crow?
Yes, we do: our area includes Crow and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Is a survey needed before building work in Crow?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Common reasons for surveys in Crow
Asbestos materials often look exactly like ones without asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Planned refurbishment work
Non-domestic buildings, Ringwood Junior School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos, and a management survey is typically where that starts.
