Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, generally bound in the bitumen.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Weighing up your options
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. See our guide to which survey you need. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why us?
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Clear next steps
- Records for your files

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
How we price an asbestos survey
The cost depends on:
- What the material is and its state
- How easy it is to reach
- The building’s size and layout
- How many samples are needed
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Photos that help
To help us quote quickly, send:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The parking area
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Labels, if any

Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

After the job
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
To avoid problems in future:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
Avoid these
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Painters Ash
Is asbestos common in Painters Ash homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Painters Ash from London?
Painters Ash is about 19 miles from central London, well within our area.
Will the survey damage the property?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Painters Ash, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
