Asbestos survey across DA11
Our surveys in DA11 cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. Typical materials include water tanks, textured ceilings and floor tiles, and people normally contact us about checks on rental property and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises.
We photograph and assess the condition of everything we find, for the report.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Textured coatings
We sample textured coatings in the rooms in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Options to consider in DA11
The cheapest survey isn’t always the best value. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, so you’re comparing like with like.

What we deal with in DA11
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. Most duty holders commission a survey to meet that duty.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Demolition projects
- Public and community buildings
- Shops, offices and industrial units
After the job
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.

Common questions in DA11
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Does a survey leave holes?
Only minimally for a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
