Need an asbestos survey in Ellesborough?

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Asbestos survey in Ellesborough
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey covers a building in everyday use, while a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before work starts. We’ll tell you which suits your plans in Ellesborough. Typical jobs include pre-work surveys for trades and common parts of flats and HMOs, involving textured ceilings, water tanks and soffits.
Around a village like Ellesborough, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- Suitable insurance for the work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What you’ll receive in writing
What happens next
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Keeping things safe:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Avoid these
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.

- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
