What happens next
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Avoid these
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
About our asbestos survey in Dunkirk
Plenty of older buildings, in Dunkirk as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. The survey shows which applies to yours, so you can plan sensibly. Typical jobs include pre-purchase checks on older properties and pre-work surveys for trades, involving garage roofs, textured ceilings and boiler cupboard panels.
Village surveys around Dunkirk can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Options to consider in Dunkirk
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
How we work in Dunkirk
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
How we price an asbestos survey
What changes the cost:
- How easy it is to reach
- The number of materials to sample
- Material and condition
- How big the building is
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Helping us quote
Photos often save us a visit:
- A rough size or measurement
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Street parking nearby
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Common reasons for surveys in Dunkirk
Asbestos materials often look exactly like ones without asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
Typical jobs in Dunkirk include:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Public and community buildings
- Buying a property built before 2000
If you manage lettings around Selling station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
Before booking anyone
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- VAT, clearly stated
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Step by step
If a material is damaged, we will say so before we leave, rather than waiting for the report. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Getting ready
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready

Dunkirk: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Dunkirk?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Dunkirk and the area around Selling station?
Yes, we cover Dunkirk and the area towards Selling station, about 1.9 miles south-west.
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.

Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
