Asbestos survey near Telham
About our asbestos survey in Telham
Not every older building in Telham contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. A survey tells you which situation you’re in. Typical jobs include shops, offices and industrial units and demolition projects, involving garage roofs, water tanks and floor tiles.
Around a village like Telham, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Duty holders and landlords in Telham
For managing agents and freeholders in Telham, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What else we do in Telham
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Why people call us in Telham
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Demolition projects
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
Schools such as Claverham Community College are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
Questions from Telham
Can you survey a school or hall near Telham?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you cover small places like Telham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
What will I get after the survey?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
It’s generally needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Homeowners and landlords use them as well.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Which option is right?
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

Looking after things afterwards
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
To avoid problems in future:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Avoid these
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
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, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- Which survey type fits your plans
- How many samples are needed
- Material and condition
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
