Asbestos survey near Oakthorpe Park
Choosing the right option
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Why us?
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Clear advice on your options
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Work done to the regulations

What we deal with in Oakthorpe Park
Asbestos materials often look exactly like ones without asbestos. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Demolition projects
- Community buildings and halls
- Checks on rental property
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
Public buildings around Oakthorpe Park, such as leisure centres and halls, are non-domestic premises, so their owners must manage any asbestos.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
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.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
