Looking after things afterwards
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
A few practical points:
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Things not to do
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.

What else we do in Lower Farringdon
What it might be made of
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Prices and what affects them
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- The quantity or area
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How much sampling is needed
- Material and condition
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Photos that help
Photos often save us a visit:
- Street parking nearby
- A rough size or measurement
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- How we’d reach it

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Lower Farringdon
Do you work near Alton station?
Yes. Alton station is about 3 miles north of Lower Farringdon, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Lower Farringdon?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t typically take samples for analysis. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Who needs a management survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats usually do. Homeowners and landlords use them as well.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
How it works
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Before we arrive
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Clear the way to the work area

What’s included, and what isn’t
What’s in and what’s out:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
