Asbestos survey near Alderholt
Managing agents and landlords in Alderholt use surveys so trades know what to avoid. From demolition and strip-out and pre-work surveys for trades, we cover garage roofs, flues and textured ceilings and more.
In areas like Alderholt, surveys typically cover a house plus its garage and outbuildings, because cement sheet roofs are common on older garages. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Alderholt questions
Could my house in Alderholt contain asbestos?
If your home in Alderholt was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Alderholt?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

Limits to be aware of
We are upfront about what’s included:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Alderholt, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
After we’ve finished in Alderholt
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
Once we’re done:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Survey first, then book the trades
What to avoid
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
