Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Common questions in Noke Common
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Noke Common?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover small places like Noke Common?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What will I get after the survey?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
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.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Noke Common must 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.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Some limits to bear in mind:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
Common reasons for surveys in Noke Common
The danger generally comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Public and community buildings
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Demolition and strip-out
- Pre-work surveys for trades
A school such as Hunnyhill Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is typically where that starts.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab

What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
