What happens next
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Once we are done:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Things not to do
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
How asbestos survey works in Baldslow
Managing agents and landlords in Baldslow use surveys so trades know what to avoid. Typical jobs include demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and rented homes between tenancies, including textured ceilings, flues and boiler cupboard panels.
Village houses like those in Baldslow have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Which option is right?
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t usually take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. 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.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Baldslow
Do you cover small places like Baldslow?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Baldslow and the area around Ore station?
Yes, we cover Baldslow and the area towards Ore station, about 2.3 miles south-east.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What does the survey report include?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do.
Is a survey needed before building work in Baldslow?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Baldslow?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. We’ll recommend one when you tell us what you are planning.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
What’s included, and what is not
So you know what to expect:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Why people call us in Baldslow
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so there is no single place to look.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Buying a property built before 2000
Non-domestic buildings, Ark Helenswood Academy among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

What else we do in Baldslow
What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. It’s licensed work.
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, so a lab result is essential.
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
