Asbestos survey for Chalton
Asbestos survey near Chalton
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building in Chalton, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The usual first step is a management survey. From public and community buildings and buying a property built before 2000, we cover water tanks, flues and floor tiles and more.
Village surveys around Chalton can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

After the job
After the survey you get a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Things not to do
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Step by step
If we find something that’s damaged and could be releasing fibres, we tell you on the day, rather than waiting for the report. Parking close by makes the day easier.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report with results and recommendations
How to prepare
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Helpful guides
Weighing up your options
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why people choose us
- Work done to the regulations
- Clear next steps
- Reports and results you can share
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Good to know
Before booking, note that:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Why people call us in Chalton
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Checks on rental property
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Community buildings and halls
