Asbestos survey in Fair Oak
Materials, one by one

Asbestos survey in Fair Oak
Buying an older property in Fair Oak? A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, which helps you plan and budget for any work. Common materials are textured ceilings, soffits and pipe lagging, and people usually contact us about public and community buildings and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report.
A survey in Fair Oak typically covers the house and its outbuildings, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

FAQs for Fair Oak
Is asbestos common in Fair Oak homes?
Any home in Fair Oak built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you survey a school or hall near Fair Oak?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
After the job
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
After we have finished:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Don’ts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
For managing agents and freeholders in Fair Oak, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
