Common reasons for surveys in Sherfield English
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
Altering an older house in Sherfield English, wherever it is? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.
Questions to ask before you book

- The scope of the job, in writing
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work

Choosing the right option
An old survey may not be enough. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

What happens next
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Don’ts
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
For businesses and landlords in Sherfield English

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Before you book, note that:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials we see
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
