About our asbestos survey in Hensting
Not every older building in Hensting contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. The survey shows which applies to yours. Common materials are textured ceilings, floor tiles and flues, and people normally contact us about checks on rental property and surveys requested by builders before work.
Around a village like Hensting, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, generally bound in the bitumen.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Options to consider in Hensting
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not generally take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Can I do it myself?
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.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Questions from Hensting
Do you cover Hensting from London?
We cover Hensting, about 62 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Hensting?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Will the survey damage the property?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you cover Hensting?
We do: our area includes Hensting and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans and we will advise.
What does the survey report include?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
What else we do in Hensting
After we’ve finished in Hensting
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
After we’ve finished:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- 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
What to avoid
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Limits to be aware of
Before you book, note that:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
How we price an asbestos survey
Prices vary with:
- What the material is and its state
- The building’s size and layout
- Travel and parking
- How many different materials need sampling
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Street parking nearby
- An idea of size
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
