About our asbestos survey in Poffley End
The point of a survey is more than a list. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work, in plain English. Typical jobs include common parts of flats and HMOs and pre-work surveys for trades, involving pipe lagging, floor tiles and textured ceilings.
Village surveys around Poffley End can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Looking after things afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
Once we’re done:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Don’ts
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.

Common reasons for surveys in Poffley End

In older properties, we often see:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Community buildings and halls
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Demolition projects
If you are a landlord near Finstock station, share asbestos information with trades before work.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Poffley End
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Poffley End?

Do you cover Poffley End and the area around Finstock station?
Yes. Finstock station is about 3 miles north of Poffley End, and we cover both.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.

Can you help a business or landlord?

Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
