What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.

Common questions in Knightwood
Do you cover Knightwood from London?
Knightwood is about 67 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Knightwood?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Knightwood?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Does a survey leave holes?
Only minimally for a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Where asbestos turns up
The danger usually comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.
Typical jobs in Knightwood include:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Public and community buildings
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Planned refurbishment work

What to look for in a quote
- What the report or result will contain
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Whether VAT is included
- The number of samples
Which option is right?
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, before deciding. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What happens next
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Once we are done:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Avoid these
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
For businesses and landlords in Knightwood
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
