Asbestos help in Green Street
How asbestos survey works in Green Street
Not every older building in Green Street contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. A survey tells you which situation you’re in. From managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and buying a property built before 2000, we cover textured ceilings, garage roofs and pipe lagging and more.
Rural homes near Green Street have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

After we’ve finished in Green Street
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
After we have finished:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Things not to do
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
For businesses and landlords in Green Street
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
Where asbestos turns up
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Demolition and strip-out
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
Got an older property in Green Street, close to The Parish Church of St George or further out? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.

FAQs for Green Street
Can you survey a school or hall near Green Street?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Could my house in Green Street contain asbestos?
Any home in Green Street built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Green Street?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you are about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us your plans and we will advise.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
