After the job
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Some practical advice:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Don’ts
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Asbestos survey for Lewson Street properties
The type of survey you need in Lewson Street depends on what happens next: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We’ll recommend the right one. From demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, we cover boiler cupboard panels, water tanks and garage roofs and more.
Village surveys around Lewson Street can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Common questions in Lewson Street
Can you survey a school or hall near Lewson Street?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do older homes in Lewson Street have asbestos?
Any home in Lewson Street built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What does the survey report include?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings usually starts with one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

What else we do in Lewson Street
What we do and do not cover
To be clear about the scope:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
For businesses and landlords in Lewson Street
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Lewson Street, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
How we price an asbestos survey
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The size and age of the building
- Parking and access charges
- The number of materials to sample
- The number of samples or the size of the building
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- Where we could park
- Cracks or breaks
- The access route
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
For a quote, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it.

- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Demolition and strip-out
- Rented homes between tenancies
Altering an older house in Lewson Street, wherever it is? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.

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 are about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
