How asbestos survey works in Honey Hill
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, whichever fits your plans in Honey Hill. We agree the scope with you before we start, so you know exactly what’s covered. From contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and planned refurbishment work, we cover textured ceilings, soffits and pipe lagging.
Around a village like Honey Hill, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, typically bound in the bitumen.
The process
The surveyor photographs and records each material’s condition, for the report. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Before we arrive
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Which option is right?
Management or refurbishment and demolition? The first is for a building in normal use and involves minor intrusion; the second is fully intrusive and needed before work. See our guide to which survey you need. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

What we do and do not cover

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
