About our asbestos survey in Hound Green
For landlords and managing agents in Hound Green, a survey gives contractors the information they need before they start, and keeps the asbestos register accurate. From demolition projects and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, we deal with garage roofs, flues and water tanks.
Village houses like those in Hound Green have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

FAQs for Hound Green
How far is Hound Green from London?
We cover Hound Green, about 39 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Hound Green homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Hound Green may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
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.
Will the survey damage the property?
Only minimally for a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.

Which option is right?
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? The first is for a building in normal use and involves minor intrusion; the second is fully intrusive and needed before work. See our guide to which survey you need. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
