How asbestos survey works in Farleigh Wallop
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We will help you choose the right one for your survey in Farleigh Wallop. Whether it’s demolition projects and the communal parts of blocks of flats, we deal with pipe lagging, soffits and textured ceilings and more.
In a village like Farleigh Wallop, 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. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Good to know
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you run a business from older premises in Farleigh Wallop, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Looking after things afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
Don’ts
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.

Questions from Farleigh Wallop
Do you cover Farleigh Wallop from London?
Farleigh Wallop is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Farleigh Wallop have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not typically sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
