Asbestos in Jordans
Jordans is a small planned village founded in the early twentieth century around the historic Quaker meeting house, with an unusually coherent stock of Arts and Crafts influenced houses from the 1910s and 1920s plus later twentieth-century infill. The original houses were built before asbestos became ubiquitous in domestic construction, but virtually all have been re-serviced since, bringing in flue pipes, tank cupboards, cement sheet garage roofs and textured ceiling coatings. The village's communal buildings and the surrounding smallholdings add further cement sheet roofing and cladding. Careful, well-documented management suits Jordans better than wholesale removal, given the conservation character of the village.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Jordans properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

Asbestos Surveys in Jordans: FAQs
Is it always better to remove asbestos rather than leave it?
No. If a material is in good condition, sealed and unlikely to be disturbed, the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 approach is to record it, label it where appropriate and manage it in place. Removal disturbs fibres and costs far more, so it is generally reserved for damaged materials or areas about to be worked on.
What does a management survey actually give me?
You get a report listing every presumed or confirmed asbestos-containing material with its location, type, condition and risk score, plus a plan and drawings you can hand to any contractor. For a typical village house or small communal building that usually costs from around £200-£300.
Which asbestos survey do I actually need?
If the building is staying as-is, a management survey satisfies your legal duty to manage. If you are refurbishing or demolishing any part of it, the law requires the more intrusive refurbishment & demolition survey before work begins. We will confirm the right one free of charge.
How long does an asbestos survey take?
A domestic management survey is often done in a single morning. Larger commercial premises or intrusive refurbishment surveys take longer, but we return UKAS-analysed results and the full report typically within 48 hours of the site visit.
