Asbestos survey for Hodsoll Street
Hodsoll Street: your questions answered
Do older homes in Hodsoll Street have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you survey a school or hall near Hodsoll Street?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Anyone with a duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises or the common parts of domestic buildings usually starts with one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Is a survey needed before building work in Hodsoll Street?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
Asbestos survey near Hodsoll Street
Any building in Hodsoll Street built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. People often contact us about demolition projects and schools, halls and community buildings, including floor tiles, water tanks and pipe lagging.
Village surveys around Hodsoll Street can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

How we price an asbestos survey
The price of an asbestos survey depends mainly on:
- The survey type
- How easy it is to reach
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- The number of samples or the size of the building
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in Hodsoll Street, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
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.
What we do and don’t cover
We are upfront about what’s included:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
What happens next
Any areas not accessed are listed, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
Some practical advice:
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Avoid these
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Step by step
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. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and keeps dust to a minimum.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
How to prepare
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Tell us about parking and access
