Asbestos survey for Hunt's Green properties
Not every older building in Hunt's Green contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. The survey shows which applies to yours, so you can plan sensibly. Common materials are pipe lagging, textured ceilings and boiler cupboard panels, and people typically contact us about pre-work surveys for trades and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms.
In a village like Hunt's Green, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Do you cover Hunt's Green?

What does the survey report include?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Areas not accessed are listed too.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts typically need one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.

Helpful guides
What we deal with in Hunt's Green
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Demolition and strip-out
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Checks on rental property
A school such as Lee Common Church of England School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is typically where that starts.
What to look for in a quote
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- If the price includes VAT

Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Hunt's Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
After we’ve finished in Hunt's Green
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Staying safe afterwards:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Avoid these
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Choosing the right option
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t generally take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
