Asbestos survey near Eversley
How asbestos survey works in Eversley
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Eversley. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. Typical jobs include demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and pre-purchase checks on older properties, including textured ceilings, soffits and pipe lagging.
Village surveys around Eversley can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

FAQs for Eversley
Could my house in Eversley contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Eversley can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Eversley and the area around Crowthorne station?
Yes, we cover Eversley and the area towards Crowthorne station, about 3.1 miles east.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work in Eversley?
Yes, Eversley is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Eversley?
We do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
The process
If we find something that is damaged and could be releasing fibres, we tell you on the day, so you can keep people away. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report with results and recommendations
How to prepare
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Keep the area clear of children and pets

For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
What we deal with in Eversley
You cannot tell whether a material contains asbestos by looking at it. Only laboratory analysis of a sample gives a reliable answer.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Public and community buildings
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Rented homes due for maintenance
If you let flats or houses near Crowthorne station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
Before booking anyone
- The scope, in writing
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- The report contents
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
What’s included, and what isn’t
Before you book, note that:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Should you do 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.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
