Asbestos survey near West Twyford
After we’ve finished in West Twyford
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Once we’re done:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Survey first, then book the trades
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Don’ts
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.

The scope of an asbestos survey
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job

- Workplaces built before 2000
- Demolition and strip-out

- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
