How asbestos survey works in Fifield

Plenty of older buildings, in Fifield as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. The survey shows which applies to yours, so you can plan sensibly. Typical jobs include community buildings and halls and planned refurbishment work, involving boiler cupboard panels, garage roofs and pipe lagging.

Rural homes near Fifield have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

For businesses and landlords in Fifield

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.

If your business premises in Fifield were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Your options compared

A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Why people choose us

  • Clear notes on any areas not reached
  • Clear next steps
  • Work done to the regulations
  • London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond

Can I do it myself?

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.

The process

If we find something that is damaged and could be releasing fibres, we tell you on the day, rather than waiting for the report. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.

  1. Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
  2. We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
  3. Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
  4. An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
  5. The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear

Getting ready

  • Clear the way to the work area
  • Let us know if something’s broken
  • Find any old asbestos reports

Common questions in Fifield

Do older homes in Fifield have asbestos?

Any home in Fifield built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Can you survey a school or hall near Fifield?

Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.

Can you quote from photos?

Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.

What will I get after the survey?

A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do.

Do I get anything in writing afterwards?

A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.

Do I need to be at home?

We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.

Do you work on commercial premises?

Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.

After we have finished in Fifield

Material in good condition often doesn’t need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.

Looking after any asbestos that remains:

  • Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
  • In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
  • Share any previous surveys or drawings
  • Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed

Don’ts

Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.

Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.

What we do and do not cover

A few things to be aware of:

  • Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
  • A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
  • A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

What we deal with

  • Floor tiles and adhesive
  • Soffits and porch canopies
  • Pipe lagging
  • Roofing felt and bitumen
  • Boiler cupboards and panels
  • Cement sheets and cladding
  • Ceiling tiles
  • Water tanks and flues
  • Artex and textured coatings
  • Garage and shed roofs
