What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Asbestos survey near Drayton
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. In Drayton, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. From rented homes due for maintenance and pre-work surveys for trades, we cover pipe lagging, floor tiles and water tanks.
Around a village like Drayton, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Which option is right?
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so planned refurbishment normally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
What you get
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Condition assessed for every material
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Drayton
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Drayton?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
How can I get a price?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What will I get after the survey?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Areas not accessed are listed too.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
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.
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
