Asbestos survey for Boarhunt properties
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Boarhunt, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. Typical jobs include workplaces built before 2000 and demolition projects, including soffits, floor tiles and textured ceilings.
Around a village like Boarhunt, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. It’s licensed work.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Boarhunt questions
Do older homes in Boarhunt have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Boarhunt can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Boarhunt from London?
Boarhunt is about 63 miles from central London, well within our area.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts typically need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.

Choosing the right option
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is generally cheaper in the end. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why us?
- Reports and results you can share
- Practical recommendations
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
Take a look at how we quote or published price ranges.
Afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Some practical advice:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
Don’ts
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
What’s included, and what isn’t
The usual limits are:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies

Why people call us in Boarhunt
Most of the risk from asbestos comes from disturbing it without knowing it’s there. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
In older properties, we often see:
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Demolition and strip-out
Schools such as Cams Hill School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- How many samples are included
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
