Asbestos survey for Glebe Farm
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
About our asbestos survey in Glebe Farm
The type of survey you need in Glebe Farm depends on what happens next: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We’ll recommend the right one. We often deal with pipe lagging, soffits and water tanks, and people generally contact us about surveys requested by builders before work and demolition and strip-out.
Homes in towns and villages like Glebe Farm range from older cottages to post-war and later houses, and any built or altered before 2000 can contain asbestos, so a survey before work is sensible. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Common questions in Glebe Farm
Can you survey a school or hall near Glebe Farm?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you cover Glebe Farm from London?
Glebe Farm is about 44 miles from central London, well within our area.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Glebe Farm?
It depends on your plans: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Describe the work and we will recommend one.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you cover Glebe Farm?
We do: our area includes Glebe Farm and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The type of material and its condition
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- How big the building is
- The size of the job
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Sending photos
Helpful photos:
- Street parking nearby
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- How we’d reach it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form, and we’ll recommend the right option.
Where asbestos turns up
The danger normally comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.
In older properties, we often see:
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Public and community buildings
- Pre-work surveys for trades
If you manage lettings around Woburn Sands station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.

What happens next
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Some practical advice:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Don’ts
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Good to know
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it

Helpful guides
Which option is right?
Management or refurbishment and demolition? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. See our guide to which survey you need. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
