Asbestos survey in Goddard's Green
Asbestos survey in Goddard's Green
Any building in Goddard's Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. From common parts of flats and HMOs and workplaces built before 2000, we deal with floor tiles, soffits and boiler cupboard panels and more.
Village properties around Goddard's Green often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. We only recommend work that’s needed.

After we have finished in Goddard's Green
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Don’ts
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.

Questions from Goddard's Green
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Goddard's Green?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you come out to small villages like Goddard's Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Goddard's Green?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. We will recommend one when you tell us what you’re planning.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
How do I get a quote?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Typical surveys in Goddard's Green
The danger normally comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Public and community buildings
Non-domestic buildings, Garland Junior School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos, and a management survey is normally where that starts.
What to look for in a quote
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- VAT, clearly stated
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- How many samples are needed
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- The number of materials to sample
- What the material is and its state
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Labels, if any
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- The parking area
- A rough size or measurement
Every job is quoted in writing. Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 with the details.
