Asbestos survey in Ore
Choosing the right option
A survey or a sample test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
What you get
- Covering London and the South East
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Reports and results you can share

How asbestos survey works in Ore
Managing agents and landlords in Ore use surveys so trades know what to avoid. Typical materials include floor tiles, soffits and garage roofs, and typical jobs are the communal parts of blocks of flats and buying a property built before 2000.
In a smaller place like Ore, surveys are often for family homes before renovation, with garages and outbuildings included, since older garages often have cement roofs. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Where asbestos turns up
Materials age: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, which a survey records.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Planned refurbishment work
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
If you are a landlord near Ore station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
What your quote should include
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
What happens
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. While we work, the area stays out of bounds.
- Get in touch with the address and your plans
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- The lab analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Before we arrive
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage

Other services in Ore
Ore: your questions answered
Do you work near Ore station?
Yes. Ore station is about 0.8 miles south-west of Ore, and we cover both.
Can you survey a school or hall near Ore?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not generally sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
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, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Duty holders and landlords in Ore
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
After we’ve finished in Ore
Any areas not accessed are listed, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
To avoid problems in future:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Things not to do
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
The scope of an asbestos survey
Some limits to bear in mind:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging

- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
