Asbestos survey in Furner's Green
Asbestos survey in Furner's Green
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Furner's Green, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. We often deal with flues, floor tiles and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and rented homes between tenancies.
Village houses like those in Furner's Green have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- 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
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Helpful guides
Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Choosing the right option
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, so surveying first is generally cheaper in the end. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.

FAQs for Furner's Green
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Furner's Green?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Could my house in Furner's Green contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings normally starts with one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- The survey type
- The quantity or area
- Material and condition
- Travel and parking
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
