Asbestos survey for Hazlemere
Asbestos survey in Hazlemere
We survey the whole building or just the areas you are working on, whichever fits your plans in Hazlemere. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. Whether it’s buying a property built before 2000 and checks on rental property, we cover soffits, textured ceilings and pipe lagging.
In areas like Hazlemere, surveys normally cover a house plus its garage and outbuildings, since older garages often have cement roofs. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

What it might be made of
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so it’s important to know if it’s there.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.

How we work
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing, so there’s no confusion.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend the right type of survey
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- The lab analyses the samples
- The report sets out what was found and what to do next
How to prepare
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Dig out previous surveys

What’s included, and what isn’t
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
After the job
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
Once we’re done:
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
Avoid these
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.

Typical surveys in Hazlemere
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building, which is why surveys are systematic.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Demolition projects
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
A school such as Sir William Ramsay School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
Questions to ask before you book
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
- Suitable insurance for the work
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
