Asbestos survey for Hatherden
How asbestos survey works in Hatherden
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. From workplaces built before 2000 and common parts of flats and HMOs, we deal with textured ceilings, soffits and floor tiles.
Village houses like those in Hatherden have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
After we’ve finished in Hatherden
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Book the survey before booking builders
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Avoid these
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
Step by step
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. We’ll tell you when we have finished and what you’ll receive afterwards.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey
- We carry out the survey on site
- Samples go to the laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Before we arrive
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Mention any parking restrictions

Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Hatherden?
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.

Which option is right?
A survey or a sample test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why choose us
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys
- Condition assessed for every material
