Asbestos survey in Hattingley
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey covers a building in everyday use, while a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before work starts. We will tell you which suits your plans in Hattingley. From surveys requested by builders before work and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, we cover floor tiles, boiler cupboard panels and flues and more.
In a village like Hattingley, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
How it works
If we find something that is damaged and could be releasing fibres, we tell you on the day, so you can keep people away. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Getting ready
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Mention any parking restrictions
Getting a price
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Helpful guides
After we have finished in Hattingley
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Book the survey before you book builders
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.

Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Weighing up your options
A low price can mean a narrow scope. Compare the areas covered, the sampling and the report, not just the price, before deciding. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Hattingley: your questions answered
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Hattingley?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Is asbestos common in Hattingley homes?
If your home in Hattingley was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
Not really: homebuyer reports may mention possible asbestos without testing anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey does.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.

Common reasons for surveys in Hattingley
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. A survey is the usual way to do that.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Planned refurbishment work
Schools such as Medstead Church of England Primary School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register, and a management survey is usually where that starts.
Before booking anyone
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
- What the report or result will contain
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work

Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
