Asbestos survey near Horsemere Green
Any building in Horsemere Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. Typical jobs include pre-purchase checks on older properties and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, including soffits, flues and textured ceilings.
Village houses like those in Horsemere Green have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Typical surveys in Horsemere Green
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Demolition projects
For rented homes close to Ford station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.

- How many samples are included
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Whether VAT is included
Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job

How it works
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Before we arrive
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Let us know where we can park
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. It’s licensed work.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
Weighing up your options
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is typically cheaper in the end. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

What it costs
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- How big the building is
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- What the material is and its state
- The size of the job
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send:
- A wide shot showing where the material is

Looking after things afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
Don’ts
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.

Horsemere Green questions
Is asbestos common in Horsemere Green homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Horsemere Green?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Horsemere Green?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you’re about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us your plans and we will advise.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
