About our asbestos survey in Westmarsh
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building in Westmarsh, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. People often contact us about workplaces built before 2000 and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, including garage roofs, textured ceilings and flues.
Rural homes near Westmarsh have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- If the price includes VAT
- How many samples are included
- Which areas are covered, and which aren’t
After the job
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Things not to do
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- The size and age of the building
- The type of material and its condition
- How much there is
- How many outbuildings are included
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Photos that help
Helpful photos:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Approximate dimensions
- A close-up from a safe distance
