Asbestos help in The Warren
What we deal with in The Warren
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building.
These come up again and again:
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
A school such as Harmans Water Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed.

Asbestos survey for The Warren properties
A survey is not just a list of what’s there. It records the condition of each material, so you know what can be left and managed and what needs dealing with, in plain English. People often contact us about surveys requested by builders before work and schools, halls and community buildings, involving garage roofs, water tanks and floor tiles.
In The Warren, we often survey a house together with its garage, sheds and lean-tos, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Helpful guides
What we do and don’t cover
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we see
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
What happens next
Material in good condition often doesn’t need removing. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
Once we’re done:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
Don’ts
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- What the material is and its state
- How much there is
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How easy it is to reach
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- The access route
- Labels, if any
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The parking area

About asbestos surveys
Weighing up your options
A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
How we work in The Warren
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys

Pipe lagging

Questions from The Warren
Could my house in The Warren contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around The Warren?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you work in The Warren?
We do: our area includes The Warren and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
How do I get a quote?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
