Asbestos help in Russell's Green
What happens next
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
A few practical points:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Book the survey before booking builders
Avoid these
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.

Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- Parking and access charges
- How many samples are needed
- How big the building is
Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Cracks or breaks
- The parking area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Approximate dimensions
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you’re planning. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
What happens
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We will tell you when we have finished and what you will receive afterwards.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report and explain the findings
Getting ready
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere

Helpful guides
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
What we do and don’t cover
A few things to be aware of:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Typical surveys in Russell's Green
The danger normally comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.

FAQs for Russell's Green
Do you cover small places like Russell's Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Russell's Green homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
We do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
