Asbestos survey for Dormans Park
Questions from Dormans Park
Do you cover small places like Dormans Park?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Dormans Park?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover Dormans Park?
Yes, we do: our area includes Dormans Park and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
About our asbestos survey in Dormans Park
Not every older building in Dormans Park contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. The survey shows which applies to yours. From kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and buying a property built before 2000, we deal with floor tiles, garage roofs and textured ceilings.
Rural homes near Dormans Park have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Your options compared
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment usually needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Looking after things afterwards
Any areas not accessed are listed, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
Some practical advice:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
Avoid these
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.

The scope of an asbestos survey
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
