DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Asbestos survey near Easebourne
Whether you are buying, renovating or letting in Easebourne, a survey answers the asbestos question. We look, sample and record, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory.

Rural homes near Easebourne have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Step by step
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. We seal up each sample point. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Preparing for the visit
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- How many different materials need sampling
- The survey type
- How easy it is to reach
- The quantity or area
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Helping us quote
For a quick quote, include:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Approximate dimensions
- Where we could park
- A close-up from a safe distance
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you’re planning. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Easebourne, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Looking after things afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Avoid these
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Which option is right?
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not normally take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Our quotes are clear about VAT.

Common questions in Easebourne
How far is Easebourne from London?
We cover Easebourne, about 44 miles from central London.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Easebourne?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
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 weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
It’s generally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
