Asbestos survey for Blacknest properties
Before you buy, build or let in Blacknest, it helps to know what’s in the building. We look, sample and record, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory. From surveys requested by builders before work and rented homes between tenancies, we deal with garage roofs, soffits and floor tiles.
Village surveys around Blacknest can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.
After the job
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’re done:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
What to avoid
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Can I do it myself?
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 must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Worth knowing before booking:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we deal with

Which option is right?
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Why us?
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Work done to the regulations
- Clear written quotes
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

You can’t tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
Common situations in older properties include:

- Public and community buildings
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
For rented homes close to Bentley (Hampshire) station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
