After we have finished in Dunton Green
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Don’ts
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Asbestos survey near Dunton Green
If you are buying a home or building in Dunton Green from before 2000, 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 pipe lagging, boiler cupboard panels and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are buying a property built before 2000 and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report.
Village houses like those in Dunton Green have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.

For businesses and landlords in Dunton Green
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
What we do and do not cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
Choosing the right option
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment usually needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Why choose us
- Reports and results you can share
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

Typical surveys in Dunton Green
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
In older properties, we often see:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Demolition and strip-out
If you’re a landlord near Dunton Green station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
