Asbestos survey near Great Shoddesden
What you’re planning in Great Shoddesden decides the survey: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We will match the survey to the plan. Whether it’s shops, offices and industrial units and pre-purchase checks on older properties, we cover floor tiles, pipe lagging and flues and more.
In a village like Great Shoddesden, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

What it costs
We base our quote on:

- The size of the job
- Parking and access charges
- How many samples are needed
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
What to photograph
Helpful photos:

Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
After the job
Any areas not accessed are listed, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
A few practical points:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Don’ts
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
How we work
The surveyor photographs and records each material’s condition, for the report. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear the way to the work area
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Great Shoddesden?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you are about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us your plans and we will advise.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in Great Shoddesden, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Typical surveys in Great Shoddesden
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Checks on rental property
- Community buildings and halls
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Demolition projects
Non-domestic buildings, Ludgershall Castle Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos.
