Asbestos survey near Marsh Green
Any building in Marsh Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. Typical jobs include purchases of older homes and buildings and checks on rental property, including soffits, flues and pipe lagging.
Around a village like Marsh Green, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

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. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing, so there’s no confusion.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Preparing for the visit
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged

FAQs for Marsh Green
Do you come out to small villages like Marsh Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Marsh Green homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Marsh Green may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Is a survey needed before building work in Marsh Green?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What will I get after the survey?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Your options compared
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What you get
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Clear advice on your options
- Condition assessed for every material
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance

What happens next
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
What to avoid
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Good to know
Worth knowing before booking:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Common materials
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
What we deal with in Marsh Green
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Public and community buildings
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties

The most useful photos are:
- Labels, if any
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- How we’d reach it
- An idea of size
