Asbestos survey for Braishfield properties
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey covers a building in everyday use, while a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before work starts. We’ll tell you which suits your plans in Braishfield. Whether it’s schools, halls and community buildings and pre-purchase checks on older properties, we deal with soffits, water tanks and floor tiles.
In a village like Braishfield, 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. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Options to consider in Braishfield
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 usually cheaper in the end. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Why us?

After the job
Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Once we’re done:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
Don’ts
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.

Materials we deal with
Pipe lagging

Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Braishfield questions
Do you cover small places like Braishfield?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Braishfield homes?
Any home in Braishfield built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts normally need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How can I get a price?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Braishfield?
That depends on what you are planning: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Describe the work and we will recommend one.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- Travel and parking
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How many samples are needed
- The size of the job
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- Labels, if any
- The access route
- An overall view
- A clear close-up
Each job is priced individually. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 to get started.

- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- We send the report with results and recommendations
How to prepare
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Mention any damage before we arrive
How to get a quote

What we do and don’t cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
