- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos

FAQs for Luxted
Could my house in Luxted contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Luxted can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Luxted despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What will I get after the survey?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do.
What affects the price in Luxted
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- The type of material and its condition
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How big the building is
- Which survey type fits your plans
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- Cracks or breaks
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The parking area
- An idea of size

Typical surveys in Luxted
Over time, materials deteriorate: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, and the survey assesses condition.
These are some of the things we deal with in Luxted:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Demolition and strip-out
A school such as Cudham Church of England Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is usually where that starts.

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.

Helpful guides
After we have finished in Luxted
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Keeping things safe:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
Things not to do
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
