Asbestos survey across ME7
The point of a survey is more than a list. It records the condition of each material, so you know what can be left and managed and what needs dealing with, in plain English. Typical materials include soffits, textured ceilings and garage roofs, and people generally contact us about workplaces built before 2000 and pre-purchase checks on older properties.
If a material is damaged, we will say so before we leave, so you can keep people away.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear

- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Typical surveys in ME7
Asbestos materials often look exactly like ones without asbestos. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
These are some of the things we deal with in ME7:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Demolition and strip-out
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
Weighing up your options
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted.
Before booking anyone
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- If the price includes VAT
- The number of samples
What’s included, and what is not
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
ME7 questions
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Will the survey damage the property?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
