Asbestos survey for Danesfield properties
If a building in Danesfield dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. Whether it’s shops, offices and industrial units and buying a property built before 2000, we cover garage roofs, floor tiles and soffits and more.
Rural homes near Danesfield have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

What we do and do not cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials we see
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Looking after things afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
To avoid problems in future:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Book the survey before you book builders
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
What to avoid
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
