Asbestos survey in Holt Pound
What you’re planning in Holt Pound decides the survey: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We’ll match the survey to the plan. Typical materials include soffits, flues and textured ceilings, and typical jobs are refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and buying a property built before 2000.
Rural homes near Holt Pound have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

What happens next
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
What we deal with in Holt Pound
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. A survey is the usual way to do that.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Demolition projects
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
For a school like Rowledge Church of England Controlled Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register, and a management survey is generally where that starts.
Questions to ask before booking
- How many samples are included
- What the report or result will contain
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory

The scope of an asbestos survey
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment

Holt Pound: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Holt Pound?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Holt Pound contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Does a survey leave holes?
Very little, in a management survey: sample points are small and sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Do you work in Holt Pound?
Yes. We cover Holt Pound and the surrounding area as part of Surrey. Send us the postcode for a quote.
How do I get a quote?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
What does the survey report include?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Areas not accessed are listed too.
Is a survey needed before building work in Holt Pound?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.

A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on it is licensed, so identifying it matters.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. The fibres are bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Step by step
The surveyor photographs and records each material’s condition, which goes into the report. We’ll tell you when we have finished and what you’ll receive afterwards.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory

Before we arrive
