Asbestos survey for Eversley Cross properties
What you’re planning in Eversley Cross decides the survey: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We’ll match the survey to the plan. Whether it’s shops, offices and industrial units and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, we cover floor tiles, textured ceilings and boiler cupboard panels and more.
Rural homes near Eversley Cross have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

How we work
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and keeps dust to a minimum.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
How to prepare
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

Doing it yourself?
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.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Eversley Cross questions
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Eversley Cross?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you come out to small villages like Eversley Cross?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not normally take samples for analysis. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
How we price an asbestos survey
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- Access to the area
- The building’s size and layout
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- Parking and access charges
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Photos that help

A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, typically well bound in.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
The scope of an asbestos survey
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
After the job
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
Going forward:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Survey first, then book the trades
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
What to avoid
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Common reasons for surveys in Eversley Cross
Most of the risk from asbestos comes from disturbing it without knowing it’s there. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Checks on rental property
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
For a school like Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register.
