Asbestos survey for Granborough properties
A survey is not just a list of what’s there. It records the condition of each material, so you know what can be left and managed and what needs dealing with. Whether it’s surveys requested by builders before work and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects, we deal with pipe lagging, water tanks and garage roofs and more.
Village houses like those in Granborough have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Worth knowing before booking:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work

Duty holders and landlords in Granborough
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

After we have finished in Granborough
Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
A few practical points:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Avoid these
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
The process
Each sample is sealed, labelled and recorded with its location, before going to an accredited laboratory. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey
- We carry out the survey on site
- The lab analyses the samples
- You receive a clear written report with recommendations
Preparing for the visit
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Keep children and pets away on the day

Do you survey commercial buildings in Granborough?
Yes, we do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
What does the survey report include?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Which option is right?
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment usually needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

What it might be made of
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, so a lab result is essential.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
