How asbestos survey works in Snoll Hatch
The point of a survey is more than a list. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work, in plain English. Typical jobs include planned refurbishment work and public and community buildings, including textured ceilings, pipe lagging and garage roofs.
Village houses like those in Snoll Hatch have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

What’s included, and what is not
The usual limits are:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Step by step
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Do not disturb the material before we get there

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
After we’ve finished in Snoll Hatch
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
A few practical points:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
What to avoid
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
What it might be made of
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, typically bound in the bitumen.
Snoll Hatch questions
Do you come out to small villages like Snoll Hatch?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Snoll Hatch from London?
We cover Snoll Hatch, about 29 miles from central London.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.

What we deal with in Snoll Hatch
Materials age: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, which a survey records.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Checks on rental property
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Community buildings and halls
Non-domestic buildings, East Peckham Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos, and a management survey is generally where that starts.
