Asbestos survey near Golden Green
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Golden Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Asbestos survey near Golden Green
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Golden Green. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. From demolition projects and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms, we deal with floor tiles, flues and boiler cupboard panels and more.
Village properties around Golden Green often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos waste cannot 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.
What happens next
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Don’ts
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Golden Green
Do you cover small places like Golden Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Golden Green from London?
Golden Green is about 28 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
We do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings generally starts with one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
What’s included, and what is not
Worth knowing before you book:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
