Need an asbestos survey in Charlwood?
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Charlwood, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
How asbestos survey works in Charlwood
For landlords and managing agents in Charlwood, a survey gives contractors the information they need before they start, and keeps the asbestos register accurate. People often contact us about the communal parts of blocks of flats and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, including textured ceilings, soffits and water tanks.
Village surveys around Charlwood can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

What happens next
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Things not to do
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Charlwood
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you come out to small villages like Charlwood?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
What will I get after the survey?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Who needs a management survey?
It’s typically needed by whoever manages a workplace or the shared parts of a block. Private landlords and homeowners often commission one too.

Yes, we do: Charlwood is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
The scope of an asbestos survey
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and does not cover:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- Areas we cannot 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 we see
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
Materials we deal with
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, which is why sampling matters.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
