About our asbestos survey in Martyr's Green
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We’ll help you choose the right one for your survey in Martyr's Green. People often contact us about rented homes between tenancies and purchases of older homes and buildings, including flues, floor tiles and garage roofs.
In a village like Martyr's Green, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

What we deal with in Martyr's Green
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Checks on rental property
If you let flats or houses near Effingham Junction station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
Comparing quotes
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What you will receive in writing
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- If the price includes VAT
What happens
We photograph and assess the condition of everything we find, for the report. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing, so there is no confusion.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
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.
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- The size and age of the building
- The survey type
- Travel and parking
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
What to photograph
What to photograph:
- An overall view
- An idea of size
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A close-up from a safe distance
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Common questions in Martyr's Green
Do you come out to small villages like Martyr's Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Martyr's Green contain asbestos?
Any home in Martyr's Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.

What we do and don’t cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Ceiling tiles
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
After the job
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Once we’re done:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Things not to do
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
- 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
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
