Asbestos survey in Bentworth
Whether you are buying, renovating or letting in Bentworth, a survey answers the asbestos question. We look, sample and record, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory. From pre-work surveys for trades and schools, halls and community buildings, we cover floor tiles, flues and garage roofs and more.
Village surveys around Bentworth can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Weighing up your options
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why choose us
- Recommendations in plain English
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Homes, rented property and workplaces

Why people call us in Bentworth
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it, so knowing where it is matters.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Demolition projects
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
A school such as St Mary's Bentworth Church of England Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is usually where that starts.
Before booking anyone

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Bentworth were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Questions from Bentworth
How far is Bentworth from London?
We cover Bentworth, about 47 miles from central London.
Can you survey a school or hall near Bentworth?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
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.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
HSE’s guidance is that a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before refurbishment or demolition work, for the areas affected.
Will the survey damage the property?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
After we have finished in Bentworth
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
A few practical points:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Things not to do
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Ceiling tiles
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
