Looking after things afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Don’ts
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.

Asbestos survey near Golden Cross
Before you buy, build or let in Golden Cross, it helps to know what’s in the building. We look, sample and record, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. Typical jobs include demolition and strip-out and common parts of flats and HMOs, involving textured ceilings, flues and soffits.
Village surveys around Golden Cross can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Where asbestos turns up
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
These come up again and again:
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Demolition projects
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
Schools such as Chiddingly Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

Weighing up your options
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not normally take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

What’s included, and what isn’t
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and does not cover:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

FAQs for Golden Cross
Do you cover small places like Golden Cross?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Golden Cross from London?
Golden Cross is about 44 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What will I get after the survey?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not normally sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
