Domestic Asbestos Reports
If you live in a property built before the year 2000 and asbestos has been identified or is suspected, it is important to have a clear and accurate domestic asbestos report.
This report helps you understand what materials are present, what risks they may pose, and how best to manage them over time.
At Midlands Asbestos Solutions, we provide professional asbestos reports for domestic properties, giving homeowners and landlords the confidence to make safe and informed decisions. Whether asbestos has already been found or you are preparing for future work, we are here to guide you through the next steps.

What Is a Domestic Asbestos Report?
A domestic asbestos report is a formal document prepared after an asbestos survey has been carried out on a residential property. It outlines:
- The location of any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs)
- The type and condition of the materials
- The likelihood of fibres being released
- Recommendations for management, monitoring, or removal
This report is based on lab-tested samples and visual inspections carried out by qualified surveyors. It serves as a valuable reference for homeowners, landlords, estate agents and tradespeople, particularly when building work is planned or tenants are moving in.
If asbestos is found, the report may also form the basis of an asbestos management plan for the domestic property.
Why Do I Need a Domestic Asbestos Report?
Asbestos is still found in many UK homes, especially those built or renovated before 2000. Having a clear, up-to-date asbestos report ensures you can:
- Plan safe refurbishments or maintenance work
- Comply with legal responsibilities if you are a landlord
- Provide accurate information to buyers or contractors
- Understand the long-term condition of asbestos in your home
If you already know asbestos is present, or you have recently had a survey completed, a domestic asbestos report gives you written documentation of your property’s status and practical next steps.
What Is an Asbestos Management Plan for a Domestic Property?
An asbestos management plan for a domestic property outlines how you will safely manage any asbestos found in the home. While a management plan is not a legal requirement for private homeowners, it is considered good practice, especially if:
- You are planning ongoing maintenance or repairs
- You live in a house with shared access areas, such as flats or maisonettes
- You are renting out the property or planning to do so in future
The plan is based on your domestic asbestos report and typically includes:
- A list of known ACMs, with locations and conditions
- Guidance on avoiding disturbance
- Instructions for future contractors
- A schedule for monitoring or reassessment
At Midlands Asbestos Solutions, we can help you produce a simple, effective asbestos management plan that suits the specific layout and condition of your home.
What Does the Report Include?
Your domestic asbestos report includes:
- A full summary of findings from the asbestos survey
- Photos and diagrams showing the locations of ACMs
- The type of asbestos, if known
- Risk ratings and material condition assessments
- Practical recommendations for next steps
- Optional inclusion of an asbestos management plan for domestic use
Reports are written in plain language, with technical detail where required, and are suitable for passing to contractors, estate agents or tenants if needed.
How Do I Get a Domestic Asbestos Report?
If you have not already had a survey carried out, we will begin with a site visit to inspect the property and collect samples for lab testing. If you already have survey data, we may be able to produce the report based on that, depending on its quality and age.
Once the survey is complete and the results are returned, we will produce the domestic asbestos report within a few working days. If needed, we can also create an asbestos management plan tailored to the property.
We are always happy to explain what each part of the report means, so you are never left guessing.

FAQS
Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) about our domestic asbestos reports.
There is no legal requirement for private homeowners to hold a report, but it is strongly recommended if asbestos has been identified or is suspected. Landlords, housing associations and those managing shared areas may have additional responsibilities.
The survey is the process of inspecting the property and collecting samples. The report is the written document produced after the survey, detailing the findings and outlining what to do next.
Not all homes require a management plan, but it can be helpful if asbestos is present and you want a structured way to monitor or manage it over time. We can advise whether it is necessary based on your property type and situation.
In most cases, reports are completed within 3 to 5 working days after lab results are received. We can offer faster turnaround where needed.
If your domestic asbestos report identifies materials that need to be removed, we can provide a quote for safe, licensed asbestos removal and reinstatement where needed.
We’ll explain the results in plain English and talk you through your options. If the asbestos is in good condition and not likely to be disturbed, it might be safe to leave it in place and monitor it. If removal is recommended, we’ll provide a clear quote and timeline for the work.
The cost of a domestic asbestos survey varies depending on the size of your property, how many samples need to be taken, how accessible the areas are, and whether any additional services are required (such as faster turnaround or out-of-hours work).
At Midlands Asbestos Solutions, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. We’ll ask the right questions before quoting, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. There are no hidden fees, and our advice is always honest and practical.
