How asbestos survey works in MK9
Plenty of older buildings, in MK9 as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. The survey shows which applies to yours, so you can plan sensibly. We often deal with floor tiles, pipe lagging and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are demolition projects and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects.
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You get the report, and we talk you through it

Looking after things afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Your options compared

How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings 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.
Do you work in flats?
