Asbestos help in Ockley
Asbestos survey near Ockley
Our surveys in Ockley cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. We often deal with flues, water tanks and garage roofs, and typical jobs are purchases of older homes and buildings and schools, halls and community buildings.
In a village like Ockley, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

How we price an asbestos survey
When we quote, we look at:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How many outbuildings are included
- The quantity or area
- The number of samples or the size of the building
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Photos that help
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- The parking area
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A picture of the whole area
- An idea of size
Every job is quoted in writing. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Options to consider in Ockley
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

How we work

- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- We send the report with results and recommendations
How to prepare

- Ensure we can get to the area

Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
What else we do in Ockley
Duty holders and landlords in Ockley
If your business premises in Ockley were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Common questions in Ockley
Do you work near Ockley station?
Yes. Ockley station is about 1.2 miles east of Ockley, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Ockley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Who needs a management survey?
It’s typically needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well, to know what’s there before work.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
The scope of an asbestos survey
A few things to be aware of:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so there’s no single place to look, which is why surveys are systematic.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Shops, offices and industrial units
If you let flats or houses near Ockley station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
