Asbestos survey near Haslingbourne
The point of a survey is more than a list. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work, in plain English. Common materials are soffits, flues and floor tiles, and people normally contact us about the communal parts of blocks of flats and shops, offices and industrial units.
In a village like Haslingbourne, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Why people call us in Haslingbourne
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report is how they find out.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Public and community buildings
- Checks on rental property
A school such as Petworth Cof E Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed.

- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches

What to avoid
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Weighing up your options
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Check how many samples are included, which areas are covered and what the report contains, before deciding. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

The cost depends on:
- The number of materials to sample
- What the material is and its state
- How many samples are needed
- How much there is
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
FAQs for Haslingbourne
How far is Haslingbourne from London?
Haslingbourne is about 42 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Haslingbourne have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
