How asbestos survey works in Vernham Street
The type of survey you need in Vernham Street depends on what happens next: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We will match the survey to the plan. We often deal with boiler cupboard panels, soffits and flues, and people normally contact us about common parts of flats and HMOs and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings.
Rural homes near Vernham Street have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
How it works
Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive a written report with locations, results, condition and recommendations
How to prepare
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Clear the way to the work area
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
How to get a quote

Helpful guides
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials we see
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
What we deal with in Vernham Street
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. A survey is the usual way to do that.
Typical jobs in Vernham Street include:
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Demolition projects
Got an older property in Vernham Street, close to Church of St Mary or further out? A refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.
What your quote should include

- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Suitable insurance for the work
Vernham Street: your questions answered
Can you survey a school or hall near Vernham Street?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you come out to small villages like Vernham Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What will I get after the survey?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not generally sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Your options compared
A survey or a sample test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.

- Book the survey before booking builders
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
What to avoid
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
