Asbestos survey for Cole Henley
How asbestos survey works in Cole Henley
Any building in Cole Henley built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. A survey is the way to find out: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. People often contact us about pre-work surveys for trades and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises, including pipe lagging, flues and boiler cupboard panels.
Village houses like those in Cole Henley have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Why people call us in Cole Henley
Over time, materials deteriorate: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, and the survey assesses condition.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Planned refurbishment work
- Demolition and strip-out
- Workplaces built before 2000
If you let flats or houses near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Common questions in Cole Henley
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Cole Henley?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover Cole Henley and the area around Whitchurch (Hampshire) station?
Yes. Whitchurch (Hampshire) station is about 1.4 miles south of Cole Henley, and we cover both.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.

After we’ve finished in Cole Henley
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Once we are done:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Book the survey before booking builders
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Avoid these
Plan the survey early, before you book 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.

Limits to be aware of

- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos

Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
