Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

Asbestos survey near Hazelwood
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. In Hazelwood, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. People often contact us about public and community buildings and rented homes between tenancies, involving textured ceilings, floor tiles and garage roofs.
In a village like Hazelwood, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Hazelwood questions
Can you survey a school or hall near Hazelwood?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you work near Chelsfield station?
Yes. Chelsfield station is about 2.1 miles north-east of Hazelwood, and we cover both.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
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.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Weighing up your options
The cheapest survey isn’t always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, so you’re comparing like with like. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.

Duty holders and landlords in Hazelwood
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Hazelwood must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
For managing agents and freeholders in Hazelwood, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The type of material and its condition
- How big the building is
- Travel and parking
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Photos that help
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Damaged areas
- A rough size or measurement
- A close-up from a safe distance
Include any existing survey or test when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form; it helps us quote accurately.
Common reasons for surveys in Hazelwood
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.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Public and community buildings
- Checks on rental property
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
If you have an older property in Hazelwood, near St Mary's Church or anywhere else, get the work areas surveyed before anything is opened up.
