Asbestos help in Grove Park
What we do and do not cover
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

Asbestos survey near Grove Park
The type of survey you need in Grove Park depends on what happens next: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We’ll match the survey to the plan. From pre-purchase checks on older properties and community buildings and halls, we deal with boiler cupboard panels, garage roofs and pipe lagging and more.

- What the report or result will contain
- How many samples are included
Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
The process
Each sample is sealed, labelled and recorded with its location, before going to an accredited laboratory. Parking close by makes the day easier.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- We send the report with results and recommendations
How to prepare
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Tell us about parking and access
- Dig out previous surveys
