About Asbestos Survey Cost
Asbestos Survey Cost is two things joined together. The first is a copy of HSE's own disclosable list of asbestos licence holders, the contractors the Asbestos Licensing Unit has licensed to carry out licensable asbestos work, arranged so you can find the ones registered near you. The second is a set of pages about what asbestos survey and removal work costs and what changes the price, written so a duty holder can read a quote and know which questions it has not answered. The quote form passes an enquiry to contractors and surveyors covering the address.
Why this site exists
This site exists because the two questions a duty holder actually has, what will this cost and who is allowed to do it, are answered almost everywhere by a lead form and nothing else. HSE's licence list is public and nobody had made it easy to read by county, and the cost pages that do exist mostly quote a range with no source and no explanation of what moves it.
Who it is for
Duty holders, property owners, landlords, managing agents and small commercial occupiers in Great Britain with an asbestos survey, test or removal job in front of them
Not people looking for compensation, not people with a health question, and not anyone looking for a job or a training course in the trade
What it does not do
- No ranking of contractors. The register pages are HSE's list in a readable order, and no payment changes who is on them or where.
- No personal-injury, disease or compensation content. That is a different buyer, a regulated legal service, and a subject this site refuses by rule rather than by omission.
- No removal or safety instructions. The point of a licensed trade is that the reader does not do the work; HSE's guidance is linked instead.
- No invented prices. Where this site prints a number it is a count from the register it holds, with the date it was read.
What is on this site
22 guides, each with its sources on the page , 395 answers to the questions around them , and the directory.
- Asbestos survey cost: An asbestos survey is priced off the building rather than off the asbestos.
- Asbestos surveyor: Choosing an asbestos surveyor is mostly a documentation exercise, and it is a short one.
- Asbestos management survey: A management survey is the survey a building has while it is being used normally.
- Licensed asbestos removal: Most asbestos work that people worry about is licensable, and licensable work may only be done by a contractor HSE has licensed.
- Asbestos roof removal: An asbestos cement roof on a garage, a shed or an agricultural building is the most common asbestos job a property owner ever buys, and it is usually non-licensed work.
- Structural survey cost: Structural survey is the phrase buyers use for the top level building survey, and sometimes for a structural engineer's report, which is a different instruction with a different price.
- Full structural survey cost: Full structural survey is the older name for the most detailed inspection a building surveyor offers, now published as level 3 of the RICS Home Survey Standard.
- Building survey cost: A building survey is priced by the day rather than by the page.
- Measured building survey cost: A measured building survey is a drawing exercise rather than a condition one.
- Party wall agreement cost: There is no fee for a party wall agreement where the adjoining owner simply consents in writing.
- Party wall cost calculator: A party wall cost calculator multiplies an assumed number of adjoining owners by an assumed fee per appointment and returns a range.
- Gas safety certificate cost: A gas safety certificate is priced per visit and per appliance, and that is the whole of the arithmetic.
- Gas safety check cost: The annual gas safety check is the statutory inspection: every gas appliance and flue in a let property, checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer, with a record given to the tenant.
- Landlord gas safety certificate cost: For a landlord the gas safety certificate is not a document to buy, it is evidence of a duty performed.
- Oil boiler service cost: An oil fired boiler is a different trade from a gas one.
- EICR cost, three bed house: Bedrooms are how the search is phrased and circuits are how the job is priced, and the two only loosely agree.
- Commercial EICR cost: Commercial fixed wire testing is quoted per circuit, and that is the number to ask for.
- EICR near me: Near me is a proximity search and an EICR is a competence purchase, so the useful question is not who is closest but who is qualified and can prove it.
- EICR in London: London is mostly flats, conversions and older stock, and all three change an EICR.
- Landlord electrical certificate cost: The landlord certificate people search for is an EICR, and its price follows the installation rather than the tenancy.
- PAT testing cost: PAT testing is priced two ways at once: a callout that covers getting somebody to site, and a rate per item once they are there.
- PAT testing companies: There is no licence to carry out portable appliance testing, which surprises people who assume there must be.
