Looking after things afterwards
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Survey first, then book the trades
What to avoid
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Asbestos survey for Wallend properties
Whether you are buying, renovating or letting in Wallend, a survey answers the asbestos question. Our surveyor inspects, samples and records, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. We often deal with boiler cupboard panels, floor tiles and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and rented homes between tenancies.
Before work on a flat or house in Wallend, the usual question is how far the survey needs to go: the whole block, a single flat or only the work areas. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Wallend: your questions answered
Could my house in Wallend contain asbestos?
Any home in Wallend built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Wallend?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
What will I get after the survey?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Weighing up your options
Do you need a full survey, or just a 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. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why choose us
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Recommendations in plain English

What’s included, and what is not
Some limits to bear in mind:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
