Asbestos survey for Green Cross
Choosing the right option
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, which is why surveying first tends to save money. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

Asbestos survey in Green Cross
Any building in Green Cross built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. People often contact us about common parts of flats and HMOs and planned refurbishment work, including flues, textured ceilings and floor tiles.
Village properties around Green Cross often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you run a business from older premises in Green Cross, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
What we do and don’t cover
The usual limits are:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels

What else we do in Green Cross
Can I do it myself?
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.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Afterwards
Material in good condition often doesn’t need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Share any previous surveys or drawings

FAQs for Green Cross
Is asbestos common in Green Cross homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Green Cross?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not usually take samples for analysis. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- The surveyor inspects and takes samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Before we arrive
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready

Typical surveys in Green Cross
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Planned refurbishment work
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Workplaces built before 2000
If you have an older property in Green Cross, near St John the Evangelist or anywhere else, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.
