Asbestos survey in Hunston
About our asbestos survey in Hunston
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, whichever fits your plans in Hunston. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. People often contact us about kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and common parts of flats and HMOs, involving floor tiles, textured ceilings and garage roofs.
Rural homes near Hunston have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
Once we’re done:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Avoid these
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The type of material and its condition
- How easy it is to reach
- How many different materials need sampling
- Parking and access charges
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Choosing the right option
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, which is why surveying first tends to save money. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Can asbestos go in my bin?

Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts normally need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. We’ll recommend one when you tell us what you’re planning.
