Asbestos survey for Hascombe
Afterwards
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Things not to do
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Asbestos survey in Hascombe
Plenty of older buildings, in Hascombe as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. A survey tells you which situation you’re in. Typical jobs include the communal parts of blocks of flats and community buildings and halls, involving boiler cupboard panels, soffits and textured ceilings.
Village houses like those in Hascombe have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Duty holders and landlords in Hascombe
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.
Step by step
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you.
- Get in touch with the address and your plans
- We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- Samples go to the laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Getting ready
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there

- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
