Helpful guides
Asbestos survey for Barnsole properties
Our surveys in Barnsole cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. People often contact us about rented homes between tenancies and shops, offices and industrial units, including soffits, flues and pipe lagging.
Around a village like Barnsole, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Looking after things afterwards
Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
Some practical advice:
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Don’ts
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
For businesses and landlords in Barnsole
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Barnsole must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, as results can differ.
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Common reasons for surveys in Barnsole
Materials age: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, which a survey records.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Public and community buildings
If you have an older property in Barnsole, near Church of St James or anywhere else, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected should come first.

Do you cover Barnsole from London?

How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.

We do: our area includes Barnsole and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
What will I get after the survey?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
