What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- The number of materials to sample
- The type of survey you need
- Access to the area
- Material and condition
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Labels, if any
- The parking area
- A picture of the whole area
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Each job is priced individually. To start, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
How we work
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. We seal up each sample point. The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Before we arrive
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Clear the way to the work area
- Mention any parking restrictions

Peppard Hill questions
Could my house in Peppard Hill contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Peppard Hill can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Peppard Hill from London?
We cover Peppard Hill, about 39 miles from central London.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
How do I get a quote?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
What it might be made of
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
The scope of an asbestos survey
Worth knowing before booking:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, 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 will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Weighing up your options
A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t generally take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
