What happens next
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
To avoid problems in future:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Things not to do
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.

Materials, one by one
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, which is why sampling matters.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.

Questions from Highbridge
Can you survey a school or hall near Highbridge?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
How far is Highbridge from London?
We cover Highbridge, about 64 miles from central London.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Will the survey damage the property?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- Material and condition
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The size and age of the building
- How much there is
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Helping us quote
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- An idea of size
- Visible markings
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Where we could park
For a quote, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
The process
If a material is damaged, we will say so before we leave, rather than waiting for the report. The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive a clear written report with recommendations
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
How to get a quote
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 to get started.

Which option is right?
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Where asbestos turns up
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. A survey is the usual way to do that.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
For a school like Colden Common Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is generally where that starts.
