About our asbestos survey in Wendlebury

Managing agents and landlords in Wendlebury use surveys so trades know what to avoid, and keeps the asbestos register accurate. Whether it’s refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and rented homes between tenancies, we deal with garage roofs, pipe lagging and textured ceilings and more.

Village properties around Wendlebury often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Can I do it myself?

If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Responsibilities for owners

Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Survey first, then book the trades
Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors

Don’ts

Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
