About our asbestos survey in Brimpton

Buying an older property in Brimpton? A pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, which helps you plan and budget for any work. Typical jobs include the communal parts of blocks of flats and contractors’ requests for an asbestos report, including garage roofs, boiler cupboard panels and pipe lagging.

Village surveys around Brimpton can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Materials we deal with

Roofing felt and bitumen

Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, normally bound in the bitumen.

Pipe lagging

Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.

The scope of an asbestos survey

Worth knowing before booking:

A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

What we deal with

Ceiling tiles
Garage and shed roofs
Artex and textured coatings
Pipe lagging
Water tanks and flues
Boiler cupboards and panels
Soffits and porch canopies
Cement sheets and cladding
Roofing felt and bitumen
Floor tiles and adhesive

Typical surveys in Brimpton

You can’t tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.

Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:

Demolition projects
Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
Community buildings and halls

If you are a landlord near Midgham station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.

Doing it yourself?

A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

After the job

Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.

Going forward:

Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches

Don’ts

Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.

Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Brimpton

Do you cover Brimpton and the area around Midgham station?

Yes. Midgham station is about 1.4 miles north-east of Brimpton, and we cover both.

Do you cover small places like Brimpton?

We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.

How do I know if my property contains asbestos?

Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?

Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.

How quickly can you come out?

That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.

Can you help with a flat?

Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.

How dangerous is asbestos?

Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.

What if my house is newer?

Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
