Good to know
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- 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 booking.

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in Jordans, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Jordans: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Jordans?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Jordans and the area around Seer Green & Jordans station?
Yes. Seer Green & Jordans station is about 0.6 miles south-west of Jordans, and we cover both.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
How do I get a quote?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
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.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Weighing up your options
A survey or a sample test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
What you get
- Clear written quotes
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Recommendations in plain English
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

How we price an asbestos survey
What drives the price:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The survey type
- How big the building is
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- The access route
- An idea of size
- Street parking nearby
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

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.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Common reasons for surveys in Jordans
Over time, materials deteriorate: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, and the survey assesses condition.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Checks on rental property
- Schools, halls and community buildings
A school such as Jordans School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
