Asbestos survey in Headbourne Worthy
What happens
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We recommend a survey type and quote for the agreed scope
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report with results and recommendations
Getting ready
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
Getting a price
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form to get started.

About our asbestos survey in Headbourne Worthy
For landlords and managing agents in Headbourne Worthy, a survey gives contractors the information they need before they start. We often deal with floor tiles, water tanks and pipe lagging, and people usually contact us about planned refurbishment work and purchases of older homes and buildings.
Village houses like those in Headbourne Worthy have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Common reasons for surveys in Headbourne Worthy
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report is how they find out.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Community buildings and halls
- Demolition projects
If you have an older property in Headbourne Worthy, near Church of St Mary or anywhere else, get the work areas surveyed before anything is opened up.
Questions to ask before you book
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Which areas and materials are covered
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- If the price includes VAT
What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
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.

Limits to be aware of
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Common materials
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Cement sheets and cladding

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

Questions from Headbourne Worthy
Do you come out to small villages like Headbourne Worthy?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.

We cover Headbourne Worthy, about 59 miles from central London.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is asbestos dangerous?
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.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
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.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Headbourne Worthy?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. We’ll recommend one when you tell us what you are planning.
How we price an asbestos survey
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- How many samples are needed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How many outbuildings are included
- The survey type
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
What to photograph
For a quick quote, include:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Where we could park
- Visible markings
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
What happens next
Any areas not accessed are listed, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Don’ts
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know, rather than cleaning it up.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
