About our asbestos survey in Darby Green
If a building in Darby Green dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. Typical materials include water tanks, flues and boiler cupboard panels, and typical jobs are public and community buildings and buying a property built before 2000.
Village surveys around Darby Green can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Which option is right?
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. Our guide explains which you need. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

- Domestic and commercial work
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Across London and the South East
- Clear next steps
Looking after things afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Avoid these
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
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

What else we do in Darby Green
Limits to be aware of
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- 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
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in Darby Green, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Typical surveys in Darby Green
Over time, materials deteriorate: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, which a survey records.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Demolition projects
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
If you are a landlord near Sandhurst station, share asbestos information with trades before work.

The process
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. The work area is kept clear while we’re working.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive a clear written report with recommendations
How to prepare
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Find any old asbestos reports
