Asbestos survey in Spring Vale
About our asbestos survey in Spring Vale
For landlords and managing agents in Spring Vale, a survey gives contractors the information they need before they start. Whether it’s buying a property built before 2000 and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, we deal with soffits, garage roofs and pipe lagging and more.
Rural homes near Spring Vale have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Materials, one by one
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.

Take a look at how we quote or published price ranges.
The process
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 the rooms must be cleared. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You get the report, and we talk you through it
Before we arrive
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged

Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- Parking and access charges
- The survey scope
- The type of survey you need
- How big the building is
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A rough size or measurement
- A close-up from a safe distance
- An overall view
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

Common questions in Spring Vale
Can you survey a school or hall near Spring Vale?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you work near Ryde St Johns Road station?
Yes, we cover Spring Vale and the area towards Ryde St Johns Road station, about 1.4 miles west.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Spring Vale?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
What happens next
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
To avoid problems in future:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
Don’ts
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
The scope of an asbestos survey
So you know what to expect:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
