Which option is right?
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What you get
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Practical recommendations
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Clear written quotes

About our asbestos survey in Little Kimble
Planning building work in Little Kimble? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. From managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and rented homes due for maintenance, we deal with boiler cupboard panels, floor tiles and textured ceilings and more.
In a village like Little Kimble, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
After we have finished in Little Kimble
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
What to avoid
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.

Common questions in Little Kimble
Do you cover Little Kimble and the area around Little Kimble station?
Yes. Little Kimble station is close to the centre of Little Kimble, and we cover the whole area.
How far is Little Kimble from London?
Little Kimble is about 35 miles from central London, well within our area.
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.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Little Kimble?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. We’ll recommend one when you tell us what you’re planning.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
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, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
What’s included, and what is not
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in Little Kimble, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
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.
Where asbestos turns up
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Planned refurbishment work
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Checks on rental property
Got an older property in Little Kimble, close to Church of All Saints or further out? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.

Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
