Asbestos survey for Richings Park
How asbestos survey works in Richings Park
Planning building work in Richings Park? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. Typical jobs include demolition and strip-out and public and community buildings, involving floor tiles, water tanks and textured ceilings.
Village properties around Richings Park often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Which option is right?
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is usually cheaper in the end. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

Looking after things afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Some practical advice:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Don’ts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.

Helpful guides
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
What’s included, and what is not
So you know what to expect:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Richings Park
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Richings Park?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover small places like Richings Park?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Does a survey leave holes?
Very little, in a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.

Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The size of the job
- The type of material and its condition
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:
- Cracks or breaks
- Street parking nearby
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
