About our asbestos survey in Lamport
About to refurbish in Lamport? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. From demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and schools, halls and community buildings, we deal with floor tiles, flues and water tanks.
Rural homes near Lamport have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

What else we do in Lamport
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in Lamport, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Looking after things afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Survey first, then book the trades
Things not to do
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.

Where asbestos turns up
Materials age: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, which a survey records.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Planned refurbishment work
- Pre-work surveys for trades

Options to consider in Lamport
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
What you get
- Clear written quotes
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Common questions in Lamport
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Lamport?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you come out to small villages like Lamport?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
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.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
