About our asbestos survey in Hassell Street
We survey the whole building or just the areas you are working on, whichever fits your plans in Hassell Street. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. From checks on rental property and demolition projects, we cover boiler cupboard panels, pipe lagging and water tanks.
Village properties around Hassell Street often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

The scope of an asbestos survey
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials in Hassell Street
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels

The process
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. While we work, the area stays out of bounds.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready

- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The number of materials to sample
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Hassell Street: your questions answered
Can you survey a school or hall near Hassell Street?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Is a survey needed before building work in Hassell Street?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
For businesses and landlords in Hassell Street
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
