Good to know
The usual limits are:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we see
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
After the job
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Once we’re done:
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Things not to do
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
What affects the price in Farley Green
We base our quote on:
- Material and condition
- How many different materials need sampling
- How much there is
- The building’s size and layout
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- Approximate dimensions
- A close-up from a safe distance
- An overall view
- How we’d reach it

Farley Green questions
Is asbestos common in Farley Green homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Farley Green can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Farley Green and the area around Chilworth station?
Yes, we cover Farley Green and the area towards Chilworth station, about 2.3 miles north-west.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Typical surveys in Farley Green
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Community buildings and halls
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Checks on rental property
If you have an older property in Farley Green, near St Michael or anywhere else, get the work areas surveyed before anything is opened up.

- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report contents
Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Step by step
Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Preparing for the visit
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
