Asbestos survey near Doleham
For landlords and managing agents in Doleham, a survey gives contractors the information they need before they start, and keeps the asbestos register accurate. Typical materials include floor tiles, garage roofs and boiler cupboard panels, and people typically contact us about surveys requested by builders before work and the communal parts of blocks of flats.
Rural homes near Doleham have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day

Doleham: your questions answered
Do you cover Doleham and the area around Doleham station?
Yes. Doleham station is close to the centre of Doleham, and we cover the whole area.
How far is Doleham from London?
Doleham is about 50 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
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.
What we do and do not cover
To be clear about the scope:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t 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 are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
Materials we deal with
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 ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
