Asbestos survey in Row Town
A survey is not just a list of what’s there. It records the condition of each material, so you know what can be left and managed and what needs dealing with. From pre-work surveys for trades and common parts of flats and HMOs, we cover boiler cupboard panels, pipe lagging and soffits and more.
A survey in Row Town typically covers the house and its outbuildings, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Afterwards
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
Keeping things safe:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Avoid these
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
What happens
We photograph and assess the condition of everything we find, which goes into the report. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Row Town questions
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Row Town?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do older homes in Row Town have asbestos?
Any home in Row Town built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t usually take samples for analysis. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
It depends on your plans: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we’ll advise.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.

Common reasons for surveys in Row Town
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. Most duty holders commission a survey to meet that duty.
In older properties, we often see:
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Demolition projects
Non-domestic buildings, Holy Family Catholic Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
Before booking anyone
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Suitable insurance for the work
- What you will receive in writing
- VAT, clearly stated
The scope of an asbestos survey
Some limits to bear in mind:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings

What it costs
