Overview
Remediation that starts with the asbestos question, not after it
A fire, flood, or burst pipe doesn't just damage a room; it also disturbs materials that may contain asbestos, from textured ceiling coatings to floor tiles and old pipe lagging. Before any refurbishment work can legally go ahead, a survey is needed to establish what's there. Evergreen Group (Asbestos) Ltd builds that survey into the process from the first visit, so it's never an afterthought that stalls the job later.
Evergreen Group and its trusted subcontractors handle everything from a single damaged kitchen after a fire to a full house renovation following a flood. The asbestos survey is carried out first, because a refurbishment survey is mandatory before refurbishment work begins, not an optional extra tacked on by an overcautious contractor.
If the survey finds asbestos-containing materials, non-licensed removal is carried out directly, with licensed removal arranged through trusted specialist contractors where it's needed. If nothing is found, that's not the end of the job; the renovation work still goes ahead, just without the extra removal stage. Either way, you get one coordinated project rather than separate firms working around each other.
This combined approach suits homeowners and landlords dealing with insurance-related repairs, where getting the property back to a liveable or lettable state matters as much as getting the paperwork right along the way.
Who it's for
- Homeowners recovering from a kitchen, bathroom, or whole-house fire
- Homeowners dealing with flood or escape-of-water damage
- Landlords needing a damaged property made safe and re-let quickly
- Insurance policyholders coordinating repairs through a claim
- Anyone whose refurbishment plans were interrupted by fire or flood
- Businesses with fire or flood damage in an older commercial unit
When you need it
- Immediately after fire or flood damage, before refurbishment work starts
- When an insurer requires a survey before authorising repair work
- Where damaged materials look like they could contain asbestos
- When a single room needs repair, not a whole-house renovation
- When a flood-damaged property needs a full renovation to be habitable again
- When previous repair quotes didn't factor in an asbestos survey at all
The risk
Why skipping the survey step causes bigger problems later
Fire and flood damage already puts people under pressure to get repairs moving fast. That pressure is exactly when the asbestos step gets skipped, and exactly when it causes the most damage if it is.
Disturbed materials releasing fibres
Fire damage, water ingress, and the clean-up that follows can crack, soak, or dislodge materials that were previously undisturbed and stable.
Refurbishment work carried out illegally
Starting refurbishment or renovation work without the mandatory survey first is a compliance failure, regardless of how urgent the repair feels.
Insurance and warranty complications
Repair work carried out without the correct asbestos paperwork can complicate an insurance claim or leave gaps if a dispute arises later.
Common mistakes we see
- Booking a builder before an asbestos survey has even been mentioned
- Assuming a modern-looking kitchen or bathroom can't contain older materials
- Clearing fire debris without checking what it might contain first
- Treating the survey as optional because the damage looks urgent
- Not keeping survey and removal paperwork for the insurance file
- Using separate, uncoordinated contractors for the asbestos and renovation stages
Our process
How the job runs, step by step
- 01
Initial visit and scope
Evergreen Group visits to assess the fire or flood damage and scope out what the refurbishment survey needs to cover.
- 02
Mandatory refurbishment survey
A P402-qualified surveyor carries out the survey before any refurbishment work goes ahead, sampling suspect materials as needed.
- 03
Results and decision point
If asbestos is found, non-licensed removal is carried out directly, with licensed removal arranged through specialist contractors where required. If none is found, the project moves straight to renovation.
- 04
Renovation and repair work
Evergreen Group's trusted subcontractors carry out everything from a single room repair to a full house renovation, coordinated as one project.
- 05
Handover
Smaller jobs are concluded with a statement of cleanliness; plastering and roofing work carries the relevant manufacturer's guarantee.
What you get
Why it's worth doing properly
Compliance built in
The mandatory refurbishment survey happens before work starts, not as an afterthought that delays everything.
One project, start to finish
Survey, removal where needed, and renovation are coordinated as a single job rather than handed between unconnected firms.
No standing contractors
Sequencing the survey first avoids booking trades who then have to down tools and wait.
Paperwork for your insurer
Survey results and any removal documentation give you a clear record to support an insurance claim.
Stage payments on longer jobs
Projects expected to run over three weeks are paid in stages, so cash isn't tied up in one upfront sum.
Renovation goes ahead either way
If no asbestos is found, the renovation work still proceeds, the survey simply clears the way.
In detail
What flood and fire remediation covers
How the survey and renovation sides work together, and what tends to differ between smaller repairs and larger projects.
Materials typically affected
Fire and flood damage commonly affects materials that were installed decades ago and had been undisturbed until the incident.
- Textured ceiling coatings cracked by heat or soaked by water
- Floor tiles and bitumen-backed flooring lifted by flooding
- Pipe lagging exposed during burst pipe repairs
- Boarding and partition walls damaged by fire or water
- Soffits and roof areas affected by fire spread
From a single room to a full renovation
Scope varies enormously: a kitchen fire might mean surveying and renovating one room, while a serious flood can mean a full house renovation covering flooring, plastering, kitchens, and bathrooms throughout. The same survey-first process applies regardless of scale.
If asbestos is found, and if it isn't
Where the survey confirms asbestos-containing materials, non-licensed removal is carried out directly and licensed removal arranged through trusted specialist contractors where needed, before renovation continues. Where the survey comes back clear, there's no removal stage at all; the renovation work with Evergreen Group's trusted subcontractors proceeds straight away.
Working with insurance claims
Many flood and fire jobs are funded through an insurance claim. Having the survey, any removal work, and the renovation documented as one coordinated project tends to make the claims process more straightforward than piecing together several separate invoices and reports.
Residential vs commercial remediation
Homeowners make up the bulk of this work, a flooded kitchen, a bedroom fire, a burst tank in the loft. Landlords and small businesses also use the service where a let property or commercial unit needs to be made safe and habitable again as quickly as sensibly possible.
North Wales property context
Older housing stock across Anglesey, Gwynedd, Conwy, and the surrounding counties often combines period features, textured coatings, old flooring, original pipework, with the kind of ageing plumbing and electrics that lead to floods and fires in the first place. That combination is exactly why the survey step matters here more than in newer housing.

How much does flood or fire remediation cost?

Is the asbestos survey really mandatory, or can we skip it?
+
A refurbishment survey is mandatory before refurbishment work begins; it isn't optional, regardless of how urgent the repair feels. It's built into the process from the first visit for exactly that reason.
What if the survey finds no asbestos at all?
+
Then the renovation work proceeds straight away with Evergreen Group's trusted subcontractors, a clear survey result doesn't stop or delay the repair, it simply confirms there's no removal stage needed.
How long does a flood or fire remediation project take?
+
Timescales vary from a single-room repair taking a short period to a full house renovation running several weeks. Projects expected to take longer than three weeks are paid in stages rather than as one lump sum.
