About our asbestos survey in Broughton
If a building in Broughton dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. From demolition and strip-out and checks on rental property, we cover garage roofs, textured ceilings and pipe lagging.
Village surveys around Broughton can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Helpful guides
Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
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.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Looking after things afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
What to avoid
Book the survey before the builders, so there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.

The scope of an asbestos survey
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials in Broughton

Where asbestos turns up
You can’t tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the only reliable way to know.
These come up again and again:
- Checks on rental property
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Demolition and strip-out
- Workplaces built before 2000
Schools such as Bishop Carpenter Church of England Aided Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is usually where that starts.
