Asbestos survey in Hog Hatch
Asbestos survey near Hog Hatch
If a building in Hog Hatch dates from before 2000, or was refurbished before then, it may 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. Common materials are water tanks, boiler cupboard panels and floor tiles, and people normally contact us about purchases of older homes and buildings and demolition projects.
In Hog Hatch, we often survey a house together with its garage, sheds and lean-tos, since those are where cement sheet roofs tend to be. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Common reasons for surveys in Hog Hatch
The danger generally comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
A school such as Folly Hill Infant School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
Before you book anyone
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work

Questions from Hog Hatch
How far is Hog Hatch from London?
Hog Hatch is about 36 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you survey a school or hall near Hog Hatch?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
That depends on what you are planning: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Describe the work and we’ll recommend one.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Do you cover Hog Hatch?
We do: our area includes Hog Hatch and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
What’s included, and what isn’t
What’s in and what’s out:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

Weighing up your options
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you’re about to work, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

Should you do 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: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

After the job
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Avoid these
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
