Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What we do and do not cover
So you know what to expect:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive

How we price an asbestos survey
What drives the price:
- The survey type
- The type of material and its condition
- The size and age of the building
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Step by step
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- You receive a written report with locations, results, condition and recommendations
Getting ready
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Dig out previous surveys

- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts

If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
