Asbestos survey for Donkey Town
Common questions in Donkey Town
Is asbestos common in Donkey Town homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Donkey Town may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Donkey Town from London?
We cover Donkey Town, about 27 miles from central London.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Who needs a management survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings normally starts with one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Donkey Town?
We do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Asbestos survey in Donkey Town
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Donkey Town. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. Typical materials include floor tiles, water tanks and textured ceilings, and people usually contact us about workplaces built before 2000 and the communal parts of blocks of flats.
Village houses like those in Donkey Town have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive

Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.

Afterwards
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
To avoid problems in future:
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Avoid these
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- The survey type
- How big the building is
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- The number of materials to sample
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Sending photos
What to photograph:
- How we’d reach it
- A clear close-up
- Street parking nearby
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
For a quote, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
The scope of an asbestos survey
Before you book, note that:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials in Donkey Town
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
Where asbestos turns up
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Public and community buildings
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Demolition and strip-out
Got an older property in Donkey Town, close to Holy Trinity or further out? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.
Before booking anyone
- How many samples are included
- Whether VAT is included
- Suitable insurance for the work
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Options to consider in Donkey Town
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment generally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
How we work in Donkey Town
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Clear advice on your options
- Clear next steps

Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
