Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
About our asbestos survey in Shurlock Row
Our surveys in Shurlock Row cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. Typical materials include boiler cupboard panels, floor tiles and water tanks, and typical jobs are rented homes between tenancies and common parts of flats and HMOs.
Village houses like those in Shurlock Row have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Choosing the right option
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why choose us
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Recommendations in plain English
Read our prices page and published price ranges.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials we see
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive

Keeping things safe:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
What to avoid
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
