Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building, which is why surveys are systematic.
In older properties, we often see:
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
If you have an older property in Picket Twenty, near United Reformed Church or anywhere else, survey the areas you’re working on before work starts.

What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

FAQs for Picket Twenty
Can you survey a school or hall near Picket Twenty?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you come out to small villages like Picket Twenty?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Does a survey leave holes?
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.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Choosing the right option
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
What you get
- Domestic and commercial work
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Accredited laboratory results
- Clear advice on your options

Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
