Hoe Gate questions
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Hoe Gate?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover small places like Hoe Gate?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
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.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
About our asbestos survey in Hoe Gate
Planning building work in Hoe Gate? Before refurbishment or demolition, HSE’s guidance is that the areas affected need a refurbishment and demolition survey, so any asbestos can be dealt with before the builders arrive. Whether it’s public and community buildings and the communal parts of blocks of flats, we deal with soffits, flues and boiler cupboard panels.
Rural homes near Hoe Gate have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you manage or own a block in Hoe Gate, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Materials, one by one
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Insulating board
Insulating board turns up in panels, ceilings, soffits and boiler cupboards. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.

After the job, keep these in mind:
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas

Which option is right?
A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- Work done to the regulations
- Condition assessed for every material
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Recommendations in plain English

Typical surveys in Hoe Gate
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. A survey is the usual way to do that.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Demolition and strip-out
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Public and community buildings
A school such as Newtown Soberton Infant School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed.
