Why people call us in KT4
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.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Schools, halls and community buildings
Weighing up your options
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted.
What your quote should include
- Areas included and excluded
- The scope of the job, in writing
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Whether VAT is included
The scope of an asbestos survey
A few things to be aware of:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
How we price an asbestos survey
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- Travel and parking
- How much there is
- How many samples are needed
- The type of survey you need
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Helping us quote

Your questions about an asbestos survey in KT4
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes: offices, shops, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
What does the survey report include?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
