FAQs for Mindenhurst
Do you cover small places like Mindenhurst?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Mindenhurst from London?
We cover Mindenhurst, about 29 miles from central London.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
It’s typically needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well, to know what’s there before work.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t usually take samples for analysis. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Materials, one by one
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
What we deal with in Mindenhurst
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres, so knowing where it is matters.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Schools, halls and community buildings
If you manage lettings around Farnborough North station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
Before booking anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

Responsibilities for owners
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Mindenhurst, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you run a business from older premises in Mindenhurst, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
After we’ve finished in Mindenhurst
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
Once we are done:
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Don’ts
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
