About our asbestos survey in Sutton-under-Brailes
For landlords and managing agents in Sutton-under-Brailes, a survey gives contractors the information they need before they start. Typical materials include boiler cupboard panels, flues and pipe lagging, and people generally contact us about community buildings and halls and purchases of older homes and buildings.
Village properties around Sutton-under-Brailes often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects

- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
What to avoid
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
The scope of an asbestos survey
Worth knowing before you book:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials we see
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Pipe lagging
Choosing the right option
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is normally cheaper in the end. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
