Asbestos survey for Dean properties
We survey the whole building or just the areas you’re working on, depending on what you need. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. Common materials are water tanks, flues and floor tiles, and typical jobs are contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects.
Rural homes near Dean have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

How it works

- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory

Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we deal with
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
What happens next
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
To avoid problems in future:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Don’ts
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.

A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
For businesses and landlords in Dean
For managing agents and freeholders in Dean, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Dean: your questions answered
Can you survey a school or hall near Dean?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you come out to small villages like Dean?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
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.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What we deal with in Dean
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so there’s no single place to look.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Checks on rental property
Altering an older house in Dean, wherever it is? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.
Questions to ask before booking
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Which areas and materials are covered
Weighing up your options
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not normally take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
