Asbestos survey for Drayton Parslow properties
Buying an older property in Drayton Parslow? A pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, which helps you plan and budget for any work. We often deal with textured ceilings, pipe lagging and flues, and people generally contact us about demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report.
Rural homes near Drayton Parslow have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Options to consider in Drayton Parslow
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 are about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Why people choose us
- Houses, flats and business premises
- The right survey for your plans
- Clear next steps
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance

The scope of an asbestos survey
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and does not cover:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues

Drayton Parslow: your questions answered
Could my house in Drayton Parslow contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Drayton Parslow may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Drayton Parslow?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Drayton Parslow?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
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 I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
After we have finished in Drayton Parslow
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
What to avoid
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
