Asbestos survey in Little London
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. In Little London, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. We often deal with pipe lagging, garage roofs and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are planned refurbishment work and checks on rental property.
Village properties around Little London often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Altering an older house in Little London, wherever it is? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first. For a school like Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
What we do and don’t cover
A few things to be aware of:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

Little London questions
Can you survey a school or hall near Little London?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do older homes in Little London have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.

Your options compared
A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What you get
- Practical recommendations
- Accredited laboratory results
- The right survey for your plans
- Work done to the regulations
See our prices page and published price ranges.
What happens next
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
To avoid problems in future:
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Don’ts
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
The process
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. While we work, the area stays out of bounds.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive a written report with locations, results, condition and recommendations
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the work area
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Dig out previous surveys
