Asbestos survey for Heyshott Green properties
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 help you choose the right one for your survey in Heyshott Green. People often contact us about surveys requested by builders before work and demolition projects, involving boiler cupboard panels, floor tiles and garage roofs.
Village properties around Heyshott Green often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Good to know
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Garage and shed roofs
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies

Helpful guides
Landlords, managing agents and employers
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.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Materials we deal with
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, which is why sampling matters.
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- Travel and parking
- Access to the area
- How much there is
- How many different materials need sampling
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Photos that help
Photos often save us a visit:
- A clear close-up
- Visible markings
- The access route
- A rough size or measurement

FAQs for Heyshott Green
Could my house in Heyshott Green contain asbestos?
Any home in Heyshott Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Heyshott Green?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Does a survey leave holes?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive by design, because it has to look inside the fabric of the building.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What will I get after the survey?
The materials found, their locations, the laboratory results, their condition, photographs and recommendations. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
After the job
Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
What to avoid
Until the survey is done, do not drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
