Asbestos survey in Rush Green
Before you buy, build or let in Rush Green, it helps to know what’s in the building. Our surveyor inspects, samples and records, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. Common materials are water tanks, garage roofs and soffits, and people generally contact us about demolition and strip-out and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms.
Around a village like Rush Green, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Questions from Rush Green
How far is Rush Green from London?
Rush Green is about 19 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Rush Green homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Rush Green may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What does the survey report include?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Rush Green?
It depends on your plans: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Describe the work and we’ll recommend one.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.

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 it’s important to know if it’s there.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Looking after things afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Don’ts
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Common reasons for surveys in Rush Green
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report gives them that information.
These are some of the things we deal with in Rush Green:
- Checks on rental property
- Community buildings and halls
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
For rented homes close to Denham Golf Club station, share asbestos information with trades before work.

Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
