After we’ve finished in The Pound
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.

Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
How asbestos survey works in The Pound
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey covers a building in everyday use, while a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before work starts. We’ll help you choose the right one for your survey in The Pound. We often deal with garage roofs, soffits and flues, and people usually contact us about buying a property built before 2000 and community buildings and halls.
Rural homes near The Pound have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Choosing the right option
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, so you are comparing like with like. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why choose us
- Covering London and the South East
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Condition assessed for every material

For businesses and landlords in The Pound
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Where asbestos turns up
Over time, materials deteriorate: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, which a survey records.
These come up again and again:
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties

What’s included, and what is not
So you know what to expect:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen

What else we do in The Pound

How do I get a quote?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
That depends on what you’re planning: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we will advise.
What does the survey report include?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Areas not accessed are listed too.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.

How to prepare
