Asbestos help in Curbridge
Common reasons for surveys in Curbridge
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report is how they find out.
These are some of the things we deal with in Curbridge:
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Buying a property built before 2000
Non-domestic buildings, Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
Questions to ask before booking
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- The report contents
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Asbestos survey for Curbridge properties
What you’re planning in Curbridge decides the survey: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We’ll recommend the right one. People often contact us about shops, offices and industrial units and pre-work surveys for trades, including pipe lagging, soffits and boiler cupboard panels.
Rural homes near Curbridge have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Don’ts
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.

What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, normally well bound in.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Weighing up your options
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, so surveying first is generally cheaper in the end. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
What you get
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Curbridge
How far is Curbridge from London?
Curbridge is about 64 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Curbridge have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Curbridge can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Does a survey leave holes?
Only minimally for a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Who needs a management survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings usually starts with one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Good to know
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Boiler cupboards and panels
What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- The quantity or area
- Parking and access charges
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- How big the building is
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A clear close-up
