Asbestos survey in Bowling Alley
How it works
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
- Get in touch with the address and your plans
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- The lab analyses the samples
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
Getting ready
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

Asbestos survey for Bowling Alley properties
Whether you are buying, renovating or letting in Bowling Alley, a survey answers the asbestos question. We look, sample and record, with every sample analysed by an accredited laboratory. Typical materials include garage roofs, flues and water tanks, and people generally contact us about contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and public and community buildings.
In a village like Bowling Alley, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
What we deal with in Bowling Alley
Over time, materials deteriorate: a board or coating that was sound years ago may now be cracked or crumbling, and the survey assesses condition.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Planned refurbishment work
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Buying a property built before 2000
For rented homes close to Winchfield station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
Before booking anyone
- How many samples are included
- If the price includes VAT
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- How much there is
- Material and condition
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Location, parking and any London charges
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Helping us quote

FAQs for Bowling Alley
How far is Bowling Alley from London?
We cover Bowling Alley, about 38 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Bowling Alley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t usually sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
The scope of an asbestos survey
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Garage and shed roofs
