Tyringham questions
Could my house in Tyringham contain asbestos?
Any home in Tyringham built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Tyringham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.

Should you do it yourself?
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 advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Common reasons for surveys in Tyringham
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Planned refurbishment work
- Buying a property built before 2000
Schools such as Ousedale School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the report or result will contain
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Going forward:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Things not to do
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs

Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Tyringham, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- The size and age of the building
- What the material is and its state
- How many samples are needed
- The quantity or area
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Sending photos
Photos often save us a visit:
- Cracks or breaks
- A rough size or measurement
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
The process
If we find something that’s damaged and could be releasing fibres, we tell you on the day, rather than waiting for the report. We’ll tell you when we have finished and what you will receive afterwards.
