How asbestos survey works in St Mary in the Marsh
What you are planning in St Mary in the Marsh decides the survey: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We’ll match the survey to the plan. Whether it’s the communal parts of blocks of flats and demolition projects, we cover water tanks, flues and floor tiles.
Village surveys around St Mary in the Marsh can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Choosing the right option
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, which is why surveying first tends to save money. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why us?
- Across London and the South East
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Practical recommendations
Read how we quote and the cost guide.
Afterwards
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Going forward:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
Avoid these
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Typical surveys in St Mary in the Marsh
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
These come up again and again:
- Public and community buildings
- Demolition projects
- Planned refurbishment work
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
For a school like The Marsh Academy, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register.

A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
How we work
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing, so there is no confusion.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Getting ready

The scope of an asbestos survey
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
