Asbestos survey in Pachesham Park
How asbestos survey works in Pachesham Park
Not every older building in Pachesham Park contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. The survey shows which applies to yours. Typical materials include flues, boiler cupboard panels and water tanks, and typical jobs are public and community buildings and demolition and strip-out.
Rural homes near Pachesham Park have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Typical surveys in Pachesham Park
You can’t tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
These are some of the things we deal with in Pachesham Park:
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
A school such as Therfield School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is usually where that starts.
What to look for in a quote
- What the report or result will contain
- Suitable insurance for the work
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
Prices and what affects them
When we quote, we look at:
- How much there is
- How much sampling is needed
- The type of material and its condition
- How many outbuildings are included
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Helping us quote
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- How we’d reach it
- An overall view
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Include any existing survey or test when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
What happens next
Material in good condition often doesn’t need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Things not to do
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Pachesham Park: your questions answered
How far is Pachesham Park from London?
Pachesham Park is about 16 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Pachesham Park?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
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. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. We’ll recommend one when you tell us what you’re planning.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not usually take samples for analysis. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Pachesham Park?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Options to consider in Pachesham Park
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, so surveying first is usually cheaper in the end. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.

The scope of an asbestos survey
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
