Asbestos survey for Upper Green
How asbestos survey works in Upper Green
Managing agents and landlords in Upper Green use surveys so trades know what to avoid. Typical jobs include managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and community buildings and halls, involving flues, textured ceilings and water tanks.
Rural homes near Upper Green have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Upper Green must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
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.
How we price an asbestos survey
The cost depends on:
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How many different materials need sampling
- How big the building is
Our quotes are clear about VAT.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- How we’d reach it
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Labels, if any
- An overall view
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
How we work
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps
Getting ready
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Ensure we can get to the area

After the job
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Some practical advice:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Book the survey before booking builders
What to avoid
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
What we deal with in Upper Green
Materials age: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, and the survey assesses condition.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Planned refurbishment work
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
Planning work on an older building in Upper Green, whether near Church of St Michael or elsewhere? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Upper Green
Can you survey a school or hall near Upper Green?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover Upper Green from London?
We cover Upper Green, about 60 miles from central London.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
