Good to know
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so there’s no single place to look, which is why surveys are systematic.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Public and community buildings
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Demolition and strip-out
- Checks on rental property
Schools such as Singlewell Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register.
What your quote should include
- VAT, clearly stated
- What the report or result will contain
- Areas included and excluded
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work

Choosing the right option
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, before deciding. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Clear written quotes
- Domestic and commercial work
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
Afterwards
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
After we’ve finished:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
Things not to do
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
