What happens next
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Keeping things safe:
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Book the survey before booking builders
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Avoid these
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Asbestos survey in Bagshot
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building in Bagshot, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is usually the starting point. Typical materials include garage roofs, flues and soffits, and people generally contact us about shops, offices and industrial units and schools, halls and community buildings.
A survey in Bagshot typically covers the house and its outbuildings, since those are where cement sheet roofs tend to be. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Bagshot: your questions answered
Could my house in Bagshot contain asbestos?
Any home in Bagshot built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Bagshot and the area around Bagshot station?
Yes. Bagshot station is close to the centre of Bagshot, and we cover the whole area.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
Yes, for the areas being worked on: HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey before the work starts.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you are about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. We’ll recommend one when you tell us what you are planning.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Good to know
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs

What else we do in Bagshot
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Your options compared
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is normally cheaper in the end. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Materials, one by one
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
