How asbestos survey works in Maiden's Green
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building in Maiden's Green, 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 generally the starting point. Whether it’s the communal parts of blocks of flats and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, we cover soffits, floor tiles and water tanks.
Village properties around Maiden's Green often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

How we work
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
How to prepare
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Tell us about parking and access

- Parking and access charges

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.

Questions from Maiden's Green
Can you survey a school or hall near Maiden's Green?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover Maiden's Green and the area around Martins Heron station?
Yes, we cover Maiden's Green and the area towards Martins Heron station, about 2.6 miles south.
Is a survey needed before building work in Maiden's Green?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings normally starts with one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
What we deal with in Maiden's Green
Materials age: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, which a survey records.
Typical jobs in Maiden's Green include:
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
Schools such as Lambrook are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is generally where that starts.
What your quote should include
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- The report contents
Afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Avoid these
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.

The scope of an asbestos survey
So you know what to expect:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
