About our asbestos survey in Little Mill
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building in Little Mill, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. Typical jobs include managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and pre-purchase checks on older properties, involving soffits, pipe lagging and floor tiles.
Village surveys around Little Mill can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What’s included, and what is not
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked

How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
What will I get after the survey?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
After the job
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
A few practical points:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
What to avoid
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
