Whether it’s community buildings and halls and pre-purchase checks on older properties, we cover pipe lagging, flues and garage roofs and more.
Village properties around St Mary Hoo often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

The scope of an asbestos survey
A few things to be aware of:
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use

Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
What happens next
Any areas not accessed are listed, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
A few practical points:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Book the survey before booking builders
Things not to do
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.

Where asbestos turns up
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Public and community buildings

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. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- We recommend the right type of survey
- We carry out the survey on site
- The lab analyses the samples
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear the way to the work area

St Mary Hoo questions
Could my house in St Mary Hoo contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is St Mary Hoo from London?
St Mary Hoo is about 30 miles from central London, well within our area.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
We do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Tell us about the building and what you need.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t typically sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
How we price an asbestos survey
What changes the cost:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How many different materials need sampling
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How big the building is
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
