Need an asbestos survey in High Brooms?
What it might be made of
Pipe lagging

Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Asbestos survey for High Brooms properties
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across High Brooms. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. From buying a property built before 2000 and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, we deal with floor tiles, garage roofs and textured ceilings and more.
In High Brooms, we often survey a house together with its garage, sheds and lean-tos, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

After we’ve finished in High Brooms
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
Things not to do
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Choosing the right option
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys

Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
For businesses and landlords in High Brooms
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you run a business from older premises in High Brooms, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

How do I get a quote?

What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
What’s the difference between a test and 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.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
