Weighing up your options
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, so surveying first is usually cheaper in the end. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Asbestos survey for East Studdal properties
If a building in East Studdal dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. Whether it’s contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and purchases of older homes and buildings, we deal with garage roofs, textured ceilings and flues and more.
Village properties around East Studdal often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

What else we do in East Studdal
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
After we have finished in East Studdal
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Don’ts
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Questions from East Studdal
Do you cover East Studdal from London?
East Studdal is about 64 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like East Studdal?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
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, which is why it’s identified before work.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
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.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
