How we price an asbestos survey

The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:

The size and age of the building
The number of materials to sample
Location, parking and any London charges
How many samples are needed

Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Photos that help

What to photograph:

The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Street parking nearby
A close-up from a safe distance
A rough size or measurement

Each job is priced individually. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form to get started.

Asbestos survey near Peartree Green

Any building in Peartree Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. Typical jobs include community buildings and halls and demolition projects, including textured ceilings, floor tiles and soffits.

A survey in Peartree Green typically covers the house and its outbuildings, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Can I do it myself?

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

After we’ve finished in Peartree Green

Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.

After the job, keep these in mind:

Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Book the survey before booking builders
Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Keep pets and children out of the way on the day

Don’ts

Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.

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

Common questions in Peartree Green

Do older homes in Peartree Green have asbestos?

Any home in Peartree Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do you work near Woolston station?

Yes. Woolston station is close to the centre of Peartree Green, and we cover the whole area.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.

Do you work on commercial premises?

Yes. Send us the details of the premises.

Do I need a test or a survey?

Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.

Does a survey leave holes?

Very little, in a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.

Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?

No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t generally take samples for analysis. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.

Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?

That depends on what you are planning: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Describe the work and we’ll recommend one.

Choosing the right option

Management or refurbishment and demolition? 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. Our quotes are clear about VAT.

Materials we deal with

Floor tiles and adhesive

Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.

Asbestos cement

Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.

Good to know

A few things to be aware of:

The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Where asbestos turns up

Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report gives them that information.

Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:

Planned refurbishment work
Demolition and strip-out
Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
Rented homes between tenancies

For a school like Ludlow Infant Academy, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
