Common questions in Hedgerley Green
Do you cover Hedgerley Green from London?
We cover Hedgerley Green, about 22 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Hedgerley Green homes?
Any home in Hedgerley Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats typically do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Asbestos survey in Hedgerley Green
Any building in Hedgerley Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. Typical jobs include workplaces built before 2000 and rented homes between tenancies, involving soffits, boiler cupboard panels and flues.
Around a village like Hedgerley Green, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

What else we do in Hedgerley Green
What’s included, and what isn’t
Some limits to bear in mind:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
The process
Each sample is sealed, labelled and recorded with its location, before going to an accredited laboratory. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- 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
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Before we arrive
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Tell us about parking and access

Helpful guides
Why people call us in Hedgerley Green
The danger generally comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Public and community buildings
If you have an older property in Hedgerley Green, near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere else, survey the areas you are working on before work starts.
Before you book anyone
- If the price includes VAT
- Areas included and excluded
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
After the job
Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Things not to do
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Hedgerley Green, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
