How asbestos survey works in Littleworth Corner
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey covers a building in everyday use, while a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before work starts. We’ll help you choose the right one for your survey in Littleworth Corner. Typical jobs include rented homes between tenancies and public and community buildings, including garage roofs, floor tiles and flues.
In a village like Littleworth Corner, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Duty holders and landlords in Littleworth Corner
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you manage or own a block in Littleworth Corner, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Which option is right?
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What you get
- Recommendations in plain English
- Accredited laboratory results
- Across London and the South East
- Clear written quotes

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, normally bound in the bitumen.

Good to know
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
