Asbestos help in Berghers Hill
Step by step
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report with results and recommendations
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there

Asbestos survey in Berghers Hill
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Berghers Hill. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. Typical materials include textured ceilings, floor tiles and soffits, and typical jobs are community buildings and halls and rented homes between tenancies.
In a village like Berghers Hill, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

A few practical points:
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Book the survey before you book builders
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Things not to do
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What’s included, and what is not
The usual limits are:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
