Asbestos survey near Hollington
Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before you book:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
Common materials
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging

- Garage and shed roofs
About our asbestos survey in Hollington
About to refurbish in Hollington? HSE’s guidance calls for a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas being worked on before the work starts, so nothing hidden is disturbed once work begins. People often contact us about community buildings and halls and buying a property built before 2000, involving floor tiles, flues and soffits.
Village houses like those in Hollington have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Choosing the right option
A survey or a sample test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- Access to the area
- The survey scope
- What the material is and its state
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Helping us quote
Photos often save us a visit:
- Damaged areas
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A picture of the whole area
- Visible markings
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Your questions about an asbestos survey in Hollington
How far is Hollington from London?
Hollington is about 57 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Hollington contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
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.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.

Looking after things afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
Going forward:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Book the survey before you book builders
Don’ts
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. How weathered and damaged it is affects what to do.
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
