Asbestos survey in Eversholt
Eversholt questions
Do older homes in Eversholt have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Eversholt can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Eversholt and the area around Flitwick station?
Yes, we cover Eversholt and the area towards Flitwick station, about 2.3 miles east.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled 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 you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
Asbestos survey in Eversholt
We survey the whole building or just the areas you’re working on, depending on what you need. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. Whether it’s purchases of older homes and buildings and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms, we deal with floor tiles, soffits and pipe lagging and more.
Village properties around Eversholt often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Afterwards
Material in good condition often doesn’t need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
To avoid problems in future:
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Before booking, note that:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
