Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
How asbestos survey works in Elvetham Heath
An asbestos survey tells you what asbestos is in a building, where it is and what state it’s in. In Elvetham Heath, we carry out management surveys, refurbishment and demolition surveys and pre-purchase surveys, with samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Typical jobs include demolition projects and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms, involving soffits, flues and textured ceilings.
In a smaller place like Elvetham Heath, surveys are often for family homes before renovation, with garages and outbuildings included, because cement sheet roofs are common on older garages. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and does not cover:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Elvetham Heath
Do older homes in Elvetham Heath have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Elvetham Heath?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Does a survey leave holes?
Sampling leaves small, sealed sample points. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
What happens
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Before we arrive
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Keep the area clear of children and pets

Options to consider in Elvetham Heath
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment usually needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why us?
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Condition ratings, not just a list

Duty holders and landlords in Elvetham Heath
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Looking after things afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Things not to do
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
