Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- How easy it is to reach
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- How much there is
- The type of material and its condition
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- Labels, if any
- Where we could park
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A close-up from a safe distance
Not sure what you need? Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form and describe the problem, and we will advise.
What’s included, and what isn’t
So you know what to expect:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we deal with
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Kirdford
Do you cover Kirdford from London?
Kirdford is about 38 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Kirdford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
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.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t typically take samples for analysis. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Afterwards
Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
Going forward:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
If you let flats or houses near Billingshurst station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
