Asbestos survey in Thedden
If you’re buying a home or building in Thedden from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, which helps you plan and budget for any work. People often contact us about schools, halls and community buildings and the communal parts of blocks of flats, including water tanks, pipe lagging and floor tiles.
Village houses like those in Thedden have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Which option is right?
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work.

FAQs for Thedden
Do you cover Thedden from London?
Thedden is about 47 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Thedden?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How do I get a quote?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Afterwards
Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
What to avoid
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
