About our asbestos survey in Adgestone
If you’re buying a home or building in Adgestone from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, so you can plan renovations with your eyes open. People often contact us about demolition and strip-out and shops, offices and industrial units, including floor tiles, flues and water tanks.
Around a village like Adgestone, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Weighing up your options
A survey or a sample test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why choose us
- Clear next steps
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Written quotes that say what’s included

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Adgestone
Could my house in Adgestone contain asbestos?
If your home in Adgestone was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you survey a school or hall near Adgestone?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What affects the price in Adgestone
Our quotes take into account:
- The size and age of the building
- How much sampling is needed
- The quantity or area
- Which survey type fits your plans
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- Cracks or breaks
- The parking area
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- An idea of size
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Typical surveys in Adgestone
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building, which is why surveys are systematic.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Planned refurbishment work
- Demolition and strip-out
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
If you manage lettings around Sandown station, share asbestos information with trades before work.

Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
