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.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- How many different materials need sampling
- How much there is
- Material and condition
- How many outbuildings are included
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
What to photograph
What to photograph:
- Street parking nearby
- An idea of size
- Visible markings
- An overall view
Each job is priced individually. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 to get started.
Your options compared
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
What you get
- Each material’s condition recorded
- The right survey for your plans
- Reports and results you can share
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond

After the job
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Things not to do
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.

Helpful guides
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Newchurch questions
Do you cover Newchurch from London?
Newchurch is about 54 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Newchurch homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Does a survey leave holes?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
