Asbestos survey in Dean Court

Plenty of older buildings, in Dean Court as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. A survey tells you which situation you are in. Common materials are flues, soffits and boiler cupboard panels, and people normally contact us about shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and rented homes between tenancies.

A survey in Dean Court typically covers the house and its outbuildings, since those are where cement sheet roofs tend to be. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Choosing the right option

A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

Common questions in Dean Court

Do you cover Dean Court from London?

Dean Court is about 55 miles from central London, well within our area.

Do older homes in Dean Court have asbestos?

Any home in Dean Court built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.

Is asbestos dangerous?

Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.

Can asbestos go in my bin?

Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.

Do I need to be at home?

We need access to every area involved in the job.

How can I get a price?

Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

Do you give written quotes?

Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?

Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.

Common reasons for surveys in Dean Court

You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:

Schools, halls and community buildings
Common parts of flats and HMOs
Checks on rental property
Demolition and strip-out

If you let flats or houses near Oxford station, share asbestos information with trades before work.

What it costs

The biggest factors in the price are:

The quantity or area
How many outbuildings are included
The number of samples or the size of the building
The survey type

We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Sending photos

Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:

A wide shot showing where the material is
A closer photo of the material, without touching it
A rough size or measurement
Any damage, cracks or broken pieces

Send us the address in Dean Court, a description and some photos: send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Doing it yourself?

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

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.

Looking after things afterwards

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.

To avoid problems in future:

Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Have any old surveys or plans ready
In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Make sure you can pass the report to your builder

Things not to do

Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.

If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.

The scope of an asbestos survey

Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:

A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
