Asbestos survey near Buttsole
Which option is right?
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not usually take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Why us?
- The right survey for your plans
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Written quotes that say what’s included

Asbestos survey near Buttsole
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Buttsole. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. People often contact us about the communal parts of blocks of flats and planned refurbishment work, involving flues, textured ceilings and soffits.
Village properties around Buttsole often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

What we deal with in Buttsole
It is not only big projects that disturb asbestos: drilling for cables, lights or pipes can release fibres.
Typical jobs in Buttsole include:
- Demolition and strip-out
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Rented homes between tenancies
For a school like Eastry Church of England Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

- Whether VAT is included
- Suitable insurance for the work
- The number of samples
The scope of an asbestos survey
We are upfront about what’s included:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
If you run a business from older premises in Buttsole, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
What affects the price in Buttsole
What changes the cost:
- Travel and parking
- How many different materials need sampling
- How easy it is to reach
- The quantity or area
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A picture of the whole area
- A clear close-up
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Buttsole
Do you cover small places like Buttsole?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Buttsole from London?
We cover Buttsole, about 63 miles from central London.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
What does the survey report include?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Buttsole?
Yes, we do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How we work
Our surveyor inspects each area in scope and samples suspect materials, with each sample point damped and sealed afterwards. The work area is kept clear while we are working.
