Common reasons for surveys in Stalisfield Green
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. Most duty holders commission a survey to meet that duty.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Checks on rental property
- Public and community buildings
- Surveys requested by builders before work
If you manage lettings around Charing station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
Questions to ask before booking
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Which laboratory analyses samples
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, normally well bound in.
Your options compared
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, which is why surveying first tends to save money. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why people choose us
- Work done to the regulations
- Domestic and commercial work
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Clear notes on any areas not reached

How we price an asbestos survey
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- The type of survey you need
- Travel and parking
- How big the building is
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Where we could park
- Cracks or breaks
- How we’d reach it

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Afterwards
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
Once we are done:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
What to avoid
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
