About our asbestos survey in Elmfield
Our surveys in Elmfield cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. From shared halls, stairs and plant rooms and shops, offices and industrial units, we deal with textured ceilings, flues and floor tiles.
Homes in towns and villages like Elmfield range from older cottages to post-war and later houses, and any built or altered before 2000 can contain asbestos, so a survey before work is sensible. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Why people call us in Elmfield
Over time, materials deteriorate: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, and the survey assesses condition.
In older properties, we often see:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Planned refurbishment work
If you have an older property in Elmfield, near St John's Church or anywhere else, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.

Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before you book:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job

Duty holders and landlords in Elmfield
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Elmfield, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Avoid these
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Step by step
We photograph and assess the condition of everything we find, which goes into the report. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Get in touch with the address and your plans
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- The lab analyses the samples

Getting ready
