Asbestos survey in Hailey
Any building in Hailey built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. From planned refurbishment work and shops, offices and industrial units, we cover flues, soffits and garage roofs.
In a village like Hailey, 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. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

What does the survey report include?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.

Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts generally need one. Many landlords of private homes find one useful before maintenance.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Common reasons for surveys in Hailey

- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- The written report arrives with the results, condition ratings and next steps
Before we arrive
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Dig out previous surveys
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Hailey, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Choosing the right option
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is normally cheaper in the end. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
