Pinkneys Green questions
Do you cover Pinkneys Green and the area around Furze Platt station?
Yes. Furze Platt station is about 1.4 miles east of Pinkneys Green, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Pinkneys Green have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Pinkneys Green can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Asbestos survey near Pinkneys Green
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. In Pinkneys Green, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. From purchases of older homes and buildings and demolition projects, we deal with pipe lagging, soffits and boiler cupboard panels and more.
In Pinkneys Green, we often survey a house together with its garage, sheds and lean-tos, since those are where cement sheet roofs tend to be. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

The process
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- The surveyor inspects and takes samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
How to prepare
- Dig out previous surveys
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Pinkneys Green must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Choosing the right option
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
What you get
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Every main survey type
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
Take a look at how we quote and our cost guide.
Afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
A few practical points:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
What to avoid
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
