After the job
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
After we’ve finished:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Book the survey before booking builders
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Avoid these
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
The scope of an asbestos survey
A few things to be aware of:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Boiler cupboards and panels

Do I get anything in writing afterwards?

When can you start?

Helpful guides
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- The type of material and its condition
- The size of the job
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Materials, one by one
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, generally well bound in.
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, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
