Asbestos survey for Ossemsley properties
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We will tell you which suits your plans in Ossemsley. From rented homes between tenancies and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, we cover boiler cupboard panels, textured ceilings and garage roofs and more.
Rural homes near Ossemsley have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, typically bound in the bitumen.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Which option is right?
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, before deciding. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What you get
- Reports and results you can share
- Condition assessed for every material
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

Good to know
We are upfront about what’s included:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Survey first, then book the trades
Don’ts
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.

Ossemsley: your questions answered
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Ossemsley?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do older homes in Ossemsley have asbestos?
Any home in Ossemsley built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Ossemsley?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
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.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
