Asbestos survey for Hipley properties
Any building in Hipley built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: we inspect, sample suspect materials and write up what we find. Whether it’s pre-work surveys for trades and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises, we cover flues, water tanks and textured ceilings and more.
Village houses like those in Hipley have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

The scope of an asbestos survey
What’s in and what’s out:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues

Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.
What happens next
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
After we’ve finished:
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Don’ts
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, 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.
For landlords, agents and businesses
For managing agents and freeholders in Hipley, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Hipley, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

Hipley questions
Can you survey a school or hall near Hipley?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do you come out to small villages like Hipley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
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.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
- 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
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
