Your questions about an asbestos survey in Cubitt Town
Can you survey a school or hall near Cubitt Town?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Is asbestos common in Cubitt Town homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
We do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Tell us about the building and what you need.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

For businesses and landlords in Cubitt Town

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Where asbestos turns up
You can’t tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
Schools such as Cubitt Town Infants' School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is generally where that starts.
