For businesses and landlords in Well End
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Choosing the right option
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. Our guide explains which you need. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why people choose us
- Condition assessed for every material
- Recommendations in plain English
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Homes, rented property and workplaces

Why people call us in Well End
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Community buildings and halls
- Demolition and strip-out
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
If you manage lettings around Bourne End station, share asbestos information with trades before work.

Well End: your questions answered
Do older homes in Well End have asbestos?
If your home in Well End was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, 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 Well End?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not usually take samples for analysis. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
How we price an asbestos survey
Quotes vary because of:
- How many outbuildings are included
- How much there is
- Which survey type fits your plans
- How many samples are needed
Our quotes are clear about VAT.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- Damaged areas
- Where we could park
- An overall view
- The access route
Include any existing survey or test when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
After the job
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
After we’ve finished:
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Things not to do
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Materials, one by one
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
