Asbestos survey for Chillerton properties
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building in Chillerton, 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. Whether it’s pre-purchase checks on older properties and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings, we deal with boiler cupboard panels, soffits and textured ceilings.
Village houses like those in Chillerton have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

What’s included, and what is not
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, which is why sampling matters.
What happens next
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
Staying safe afterwards:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
What to avoid
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in Chillerton, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.

What we deal with in Chillerton
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building.
In older properties, we often see:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Buying a property built before 2000
A school such as Chillerton and Rookley Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed, and a management survey is usually where that starts.

Your options compared
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t generally take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.

Chillerton questions
Could my house in Chillerton contain asbestos?
Any home in Chillerton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you survey a school or hall near Chillerton?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
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 do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
