How we work
If a material is damaged, we will say so before we leave, so you can keep people away. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps
How to prepare
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, before plasterers or electricians start.
Common reasons for surveys in Brimpton Common
It is not only big projects that disturb asbestos: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres, so knowing where it is matters.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Demolition and strip-out
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
A school such as The Hurst School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed.
What to look for in a quote
- The report contents
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Suitable insurance for the work
- The scope of the job, in writing
After the job
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Staying safe afterwards:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Don’ts
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.

Landlords, managing agents and employers

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Brimpton Common questions
Do you cover small places like Brimpton Common?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Brimpton Common and the area around Midgham station?
Yes. Midgham station is about 2.2 miles north of Brimpton Common, and we cover both.
What will I get after the survey?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you cover Brimpton Common?
Yes, Brimpton Common is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Does a survey leave holes?
Very little, in a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
What we do and do not cover
To be clear about the scope:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
