About our asbestos survey in Langley
A survey is not just a list of what’s there. It records the condition of each material, so you know what can be left and managed and what needs dealing with. Typical jobs include rented homes between tenancies and surveys requested by builders before work, involving pipe lagging, textured ceilings and boiler cupboard panels.
In a smaller place like Langley, surveys are often for family homes before renovation, with garages and outbuildings included, since older garages often have cement roofs. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Common questions in Langley
Do you cover Langley and the area around Langley station?
Yes. Langley station is about 0.5 miles east of Langley, and we cover both.
How far is Langley from London?
Langley is about 20 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, we do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Looking after things afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
After we’ve finished:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Things not to do
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Duty holders and landlords in Langley
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Langley, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so there’s no single place to look.
In older properties, we often see:
- Demolition and strip-out
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Community buildings and halls
For a school like The Langley Academy Primary, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register.

Weighing up your options
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so planned refurbishment generally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
