Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
The process
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. The work area is kept clear while we are working.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- The number of materials to sample
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The quantity or area
- How many outbuildings are included
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- An idea of size
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Where we could park
- A picture of the whole area
Each job is priced individually. Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 to get started.
What happens next
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
To avoid problems in future:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Avoid these
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, and keep trades away from them.
For businesses and landlords in Motspur Park
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Motspur Park
Can you survey a school or hall near Motspur Park?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do older homes in Motspur Park have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Motspur Park can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
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.
Typical surveys in Motspur Park
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. Most duty holders commission a survey to meet that duty.
Typical jobs in Motspur Park include:
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Demolition projects
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Community buildings and halls
Schools such as St Matthew's CofE Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is normally where that starts.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the report or result will contain
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- VAT, clearly stated
Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. It’s licensed work.
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
