DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Asbestos survey near Longparish
If a building in Longparish dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. Typical jobs include demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and shops, offices and industrial units, including garage roofs, boiler cupboard panels and water tanks.
Village houses like those in Longparish have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
How we price an asbestos survey
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- How big the building is
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Which survey type fits your plans
- How many samples are needed
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Helping us quote
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Street parking nearby
- Cracks or breaks
- A clear close-up
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Materials we deal with
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. It’s licensed work.
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Looking after things afterwards
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Things not to do
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Options to consider in Longparish
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is normally cheaper in the end. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

FAQs for Longparish
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Longparish?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you cover Longparish from London?
Longparish is about 59 miles from central London, well within our area.
Will the survey damage the property?
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 you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
What does the survey report include?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
