Your questions about an asbestos survey in Northington

Do you come out to small villages like Northington?

We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.

How far is Northington from London?

We cover Northington, about 54 miles from central London.

How dangerous is asbestos?

It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.

Do you work in Northington?

Yes, Northington is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.

How can I get a price?

Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?

Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.

Who needs a management survey?

It’s generally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well.

What does licensed work mean?

Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.

How asbestos survey works in Northington

What you are planning in Northington decides the survey: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We will match the survey to the plan. People often contact us about rented homes between tenancies and buying a property built before 2000, involving textured ceilings, floor tiles and soffits.

Village surveys around Northington can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Duty holders and landlords in Northington

Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Limits to be aware of

The usual limits are:

Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Service details

After we’ve finished in Northington

Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.

If asbestos stays in the building:

Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Share any previous surveys or drawings
Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors

Things not to do

Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.

If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.

A closer look at the materials

Textured coatings

We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.

Insulating board

Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.

Prices and what affects them

When we quote, we look at:

The type of material and its condition
Access: height, lofts, steps and space
The survey scope
The building’s size and layout

Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

What to photograph

Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:

How we’d reach it
Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
A rough size or measurement
Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely

Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory

Getting ready
