Asbestos help in Deadwater
What we do and do not cover
A few things to be aware of:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

Asbestos survey for Deadwater properties
Before you buy, build or let in Deadwater, it helps to know what’s in the building. Our surveyor inspects, samples and records, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. We often deal with boiler cupboard panels, pipe lagging and garage roofs, and typical jobs are surveys requested by builders before work and demolition projects.
A survey in Deadwater typically covers the house and its outbuildings, since those are where cement sheet roofs tend to be. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

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 typically needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Questions from Deadwater
Could my house in Deadwater contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Deadwater can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Deadwater?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
What will I get after the survey?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Materials, one by one
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
After the job
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Book the survey before booking builders
Don’ts
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
How it works
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report and explain the findings
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
