What happens next
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:

- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
What to avoid

- 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 plan it around the building’s use
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
