Asbestos survey for The Frenches properties
Buying an older property in The Frenches? A pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, so you can plan renovations with your eyes open. From shops, offices and industrial units and schools, halls and community buildings, we deal with soffits, garage roofs and boiler cupboard panels and more.
Around a village like The Frenches, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

What we deal with in The Frenches
Materials age: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, which a survey records.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Demolition and strip-out
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Public and community buildings
Halls and leisure centres near The Frenches fall into the non-domestic category, so their owners must manage any asbestos.

The Frenches questions
Can you survey a school or hall near The Frenches?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do older homes in The Frenches have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in The Frenches can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. We will recommend one when you tell us what you are planning.
Do you survey commercial buildings in The Frenches?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
Does a survey leave holes?
Very little, in a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
The scope of an asbestos survey
A few things to be aware of:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- 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; condition can change, so recheck it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- Which survey type fits your plans
- How easy it is to reach
- The number of materials to sample
- The building’s size and layout
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
How it works
Each sample is sealed, labelled and recorded with its location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We carry out the survey on site
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
Preparing for the visit
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage

Helpful guides
After the job
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Survey first, then book the trades
Avoid these
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
