Asbestos survey in Lychpit
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building in Lychpit, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is typically the starting point. Whether it’s surveys requested by builders before work and rented homes due for maintenance, we cover soffits, flues and boiler cupboard panels and more.
Village properties around Lychpit often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
After the job
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Avoid these
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Why people call us in Lychpit
The danger usually comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Public and community buildings
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
If you have an older property in Lychpit, near Church of St Mary or anywhere else, get the work areas surveyed before anything is opened up.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Common materials
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
Can I do it myself?
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.
Weighing up your options
A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t usually take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why choose us
- Clear next steps
- Reports and results you can share
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
Read how we quote or the cost guide.

The surveyor photographs and records each material’s condition, for the report. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing, so there is no confusion.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- The lab analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Getting ready
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
Materials, one by one
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, usually well bound in.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Lychpit questions
Do you cover Lychpit from London?
We cover Lychpit, about 44 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Lychpit homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- 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
