Asbestos survey in Hundred Acres
Asbestos survey for Hundred Acres properties
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We will help you choose the right one for your survey in Hundred Acres. From rented homes between tenancies and workplaces built before 2000, we deal with flues, soffits and water tanks and more.
Rural homes near Hundred Acres have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Looking after things afterwards
Any areas not accessed are listed, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
To avoid problems in future:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Things not to do
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
What happens
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we look behind panels, under floors and above ceilings in the areas being worked on, so those areas need to be empty. We’ll tell you when we’ve finished and what you will receive afterwards.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We agree the type of survey and the areas it covers, and send a quote
- Our surveyor inspects and takes small samples of suspect materials
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Preparing for the visit
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Let us know where we can park

Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you run a business from older premises in Hundred Acres, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Common questions in Hundred Acres
Do you cover small places like Hundred Acres?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Hundred Acres contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Hundred Acres may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No, they’re different: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Hundred Acres?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
That depends on what you are planning: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we will advise.
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it will not do before building work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
