Asbestos help in Lane End
Looking after things afterwards
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
What to avoid
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Asbestos survey for Lane End properties
Any building in Lane End built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. People often contact us about contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and public and community buildings, involving flues, water tanks and boiler cupboard panels.
Around a village like Lane End, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Step by step
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- Samples go to the laboratory
- You receive a clear written report with recommendations

Common questions in Lane End
Do you cover Lane End from London?
We cover Lane End, about 58 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Lane End homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
It’s normally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
The scope of an asbestos survey
A few things to be aware of:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
Common materials
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, normally well bound in.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Which option is right?
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? The first is for a building in normal use and involves minor intrusion; the second is fully intrusive and needed before work. Our guide explains which you need. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
