Asbestos survey for Headley Down
After we’ve finished in Headley Down
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
To avoid problems in future:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Survey first, then book the trades
What to avoid
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Asbestos survey for Headley Down properties
Before you buy, build or let in Headley Down, it helps to know what’s in the building. Our surveyor inspects, samples and records, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. People often contact us about planned refurbishment work and buying a property built before 2000, including flues, pipe lagging and floor tiles.
In Headley Down, we often survey a house together with its garage, sheds and lean-tos, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Good to know
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Water tanks and flues
Other services in Headley Down
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Materials we deal with
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, usually well bound in.

We photograph and assess the condition of everything we find, for the report. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you.

- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas

Getting ready

For businesses and landlords in Headley Down
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Your options compared
A survey or a sample test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- The right survey for your plans
- Condition assessed for every material
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
