Your options compared
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not usually take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

Asbestos survey for Hollington properties
About to refurbish in Hollington? 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. Common materials are pipe lagging, flues and boiler cupboard panels, and typical jobs are demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and planned refurbishment work.
In areas like Hollington, surveys generally cover a house plus its garage and outbuildings, since older garages often have cement roofs. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Helpful guides
Looking after things afterwards
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- 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
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Book the survey before you book builders
Avoid these
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Hollington, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Materials we deal with
Pipe lagging
Old lagging is one of the higher-risk materials. Work on it is licensed.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.

What else we do in Hollington
Typical surveys in Hollington
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
These are some of the things we deal with in Hollington:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Demolition projects
Non-domestic buildings, Hollington Primary Academy among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
Questions to ask before you book
- The scope of the job, in writing
- The number of samples
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
How we price an asbestos survey
The cost depends on:
- What the material is and its state
- The building’s size and layout
- The type of survey you need
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What to photograph
What to photograph:
- Labels, if any
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Hollington
Can you survey a school or hall near Hollington?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Is asbestos common in Hollington homes?
If your home in Hollington was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Does a survey leave holes?
Only minimally for a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What’s included, and what isn’t
The usual limits are:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
