How asbestos survey works in Little London
The type of survey you need in Little London depends on what happens next: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We’ll match the survey to the plan. Whether it’s the communal parts of blocks of flats and shops, offices and industrial units, we deal with floor tiles, boiler cupboard panels and soffits.
Rural homes near Little London have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Duty holders and landlords in Little London
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Little London, 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.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Afterwards
Any areas not accessed are listed, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
After we have finished:
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Avoid these
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Materials we deal with
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, normally well bound in.
Step by step
Each sample is sealed, labelled and recorded with its location, before going to an accredited laboratory. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to the laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Before we arrive
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Dig out previous surveys

Helpful guides
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- 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
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Little London questions
Could my house in Little London contain asbestos?
Any home in Little London built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Little London?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Does a survey leave holes?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Little London?
It depends on your plans: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Describe the work and we’ll recommend one.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Why people call us in Little London
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building, which is why surveys are systematic.
In older properties, we often see:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Demolition projects
