Asbestos survey near Two Mile Ash
Asbestos survey in Two Mile Ash
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building in Two Mile Ash, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. Whether it’s pre-purchase checks on older properties and community buildings and halls, we cover floor tiles, garage roofs and flues.
Two Mile Ash has a mix of older and newer homes, and anything altered before 2000 may contain asbestos. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Two Mile Ash questions
How far is Two Mile Ash from London?
We cover Two Mile Ash, about 48 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Two Mile Ash have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Two Mile Ash may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for non-domestic buildings and the common parts of flats generally do. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How we work
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. The work area is kept clear while we’re working.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to the laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Before we arrive
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Materials we deal with
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
What happens next
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
After we’ve finished:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.

The scope of an asbestos survey
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
Where asbestos turns up
It isn’t only big projects that disturb asbestos: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Planned refurbishment work
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
For a school like Two Mile Ash School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register.
