Asbestos survey for Fox properties
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts in Fox must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. We often deal with garage roofs, floor tiles and pipe lagging, and typical jobs are contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and common parts of flats and HMOs.
Village properties around Fox often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

What we deal with in Fox
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. A survey is the usual way to do that.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Demolition and strip-out
- Planned refurbishment work
- Checks on rental property
- Public and community buildings
For a school like Amport Church of England Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is typically where that starts.
Questions to ask before you book

Fox: your questions answered
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Fox?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you come out to small villages like Fox?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What we do and do not cover
We are upfront about what’s included:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- 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
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, normally bound in the bitumen.
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

The surveyor photographs and records each material’s condition, for the report. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first.
