Limits to be aware of
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding

How we price an asbestos survey
Our quotes take into account:
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- What the material is and its state
- Travel and parking
- The survey type
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A close-up from a safe distance
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Not sure what you need? Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we will recommend the right option.
Looking after things afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
A few practical points:
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Things not to do
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
For businesses and landlords in Moulsecoomb
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you manage or own a block in Moulsecoomb, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Your options compared
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why people choose us
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Clear next steps
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

Why people call us in Moulsecoomb
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres, so knowing where it is matters.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Demolition projects
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Surveys requested by builders before work
Schools such as Moulsecoomb 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 generally where that starts.
