What’s included, and what isn’t
Before booking, note that:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too

Asbestos survey near Little Milton
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Little Milton, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. We often deal with boiler cupboard panels, water tanks and soffits, and people usually contact us about shops, offices and industrial units and public and community buildings.
Rural homes near Little Milton have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

After the job
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Avoid these
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
The process
Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their 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 agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- The surveyor inspects and takes samples
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report and explain the findings
How to prepare
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

What we deal with in Little Milton
Materials age: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, which a survey records.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Community buildings and halls
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
If you have an older property in Little Milton, near Church of St James or anywhere else, get the work areas surveyed before anything is opened up.

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Your options compared
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so planned refurbishment generally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
What you get
- Houses, flats and business premises
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
