Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Asbestos survey for Smannell properties
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Smannell, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Whether it’s demolition and strip-out and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects, we deal with water tanks, soffits and floor tiles.
In a village like Smannell, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
How it works
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. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you’re planning
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report and explain the findings
Preparing for the visit
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Tell us about parking and access

Helpful guides
Smannell: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Smannell?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Smannell from London?
Smannell is about 61 miles from central London, well within our area.
What will I get after the survey?
A record of every suspect material in scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Which option is right?
A survey or a sample test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

What happens next
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Keeping things safe:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Book the survey before you book builders
What to avoid
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
