Asbestos survey in Ewshot
How asbestos survey works in Ewshot
An asbestos survey finds out whether a building contains asbestos, where it is, how much there is and what condition it’s in. We offer management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys in Ewshot, and samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis. People often contact us about planned refurbishment work and rented homes between tenancies, including garage roofs, boiler cupboard panels and soffits.
In a village like Ewshot, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Questions from Ewshot
Can you survey a school or hall near Ewshot?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Could my house in Ewshot contain asbestos?
If your home in Ewshot was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Is a survey needed before building work in Ewshot?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, generally bound in the bitumen.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
For managing agents and freeholders in Ewshot, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
What’s included, and what isn’t
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A management survey doesn’t 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
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
Places near Ewshot
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
How it works
Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey
- We carry out the survey on site
- The lab analyses the samples
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the work area
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
How to get a quote

Your options compared
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not usually take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

After we have finished in Ewshot
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Avoid these
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
