We often deal with boiler cupboard panels, floor tiles and flues, and people generally contact us about pre-work surveys for trades and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings.
Village houses like those in Norlington have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Afterwards
Material in good condition often doesn’t need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Some practical advice:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Things not to do
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
What’s included, and what is not
So you know what to expect:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

FAQs for Norlington
Can you survey a school or hall near Norlington?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you come out to small villages like Norlington?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts usually need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you work in Norlington?
Yes, Norlington is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
