Asbestos survey for Little Conghurst
Choosing the right option
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why choose us
- Condition assessed for every material
- Work done to the regulations
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Quotes that spell out the scope

Asbestos survey for Little Conghurst properties
About to refurbish in Little Conghurst? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. Typical jobs include checks on rental property and demolition projects, involving water tanks, boiler cupboard panels and pipe lagging.
Village properties around Little Conghurst often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What it might be made of
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
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.
Good to know
Before booking, note that:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
How we price an asbestos survey
What changes the cost:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The number of materials to sample
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- How big the building is
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
Helpful photos:
- Labels, if any
- An overall view
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Cracks or breaks
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Things not to do
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Questions from Little Conghurst

How far is Little Conghurst from London?

We do: our area includes Little Conghurst and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
What will I get after the survey?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
