Helpful guides
How asbestos survey works in Frinsted
Not every older building in Frinsted contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. A survey tells you which situation you are in. Typical materials include flues, pipe lagging and floor tiles, and typical jobs are contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects.
Village houses like those in Frinsted have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

What does the survey report include?
A record of every suspect material in scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Looking after things afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Avoid these
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. It’s licensed work.
What affects the price in Frinsted
We base our quote on:
- The type of survey you need
