A management survey is generally the starting point. People often contact us about public and community buildings and the communal parts of blocks of flats, involving garage roofs, pipe lagging and boiler cupboard panels.

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Good to know

- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it

Materials, one by one
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Choosing the right option
A survey or a sample test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Grayshott questions
Could my house in Grayshott contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Haslemere station?
Yes. Haslemere station is about 2.2 miles south-east of Grayshott, and we cover both.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What does the survey report include?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Areas not accessed are listed too.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Typical surveys in Grayshott
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. A survey is the usual way to do that.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Rented homes due for maintenance
- Demolition and strip-out
- Workplaces built before 2000
If you manage lettings around Haslemere station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
