DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos survey near Lower Eashing

Village surveys around Lower Eashing can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. We only recommend work that is needed.

FAQs for Lower Eashing
How far is Lower Eashing from London?
We cover Lower Eashing, about 32 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Lower Eashing?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t generally sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Who needs a management survey?
It’s typically needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well, to know what’s there before work.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.

For businesses and landlords in Lower Eashing
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Some limits to bear in mind:
- 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 timing needs planning
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
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.
Choosing the right option
Management or refurbishment and demolition? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. Our guide explains which you need. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
