Asbestos survey in Dadford
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Dadford must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
About our asbestos survey in Dadford
Our surveys in Dadford cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. We often deal with flues, garage roofs and soffits, and people normally contact us about buying a property built before 2000 and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises.
Village properties around Dadford often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Common questions in Dadford
Do you come out to small villages like Dadford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Dadford from London?
We cover Dadford, about 55 miles from central London.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
What does the survey report include?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Areas not accessed are listed too.
How do I get a quote?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
Afterwards
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
After we have finished:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Things not to do
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Step by step
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing, so there is no confusion.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Preparing for the visit
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Let us know where we can park
- Find any old asbestos reports

Choosing the right option
An old survey may not be enough. 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 generally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What you get
- Condition assessed for every material
- Domestic and commercial work
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Accredited laboratory results

What we deal with in Dadford
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report is how they find out.
These come up again and again:
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Community buildings and halls
Got an older property in Dadford, close to Parish Church of St Mary or further out? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.
