Asbestos survey in Hunton
What you’re planning in Hunton decides the survey: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We will recommend the right one. Whether it’s refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and shared halls, stairs and plant rooms, we cover floor tiles, pipe lagging and water tanks.
Village properties around Hunton often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

What’s included, and what isn’t
The usual limits are:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive

Where asbestos turns up
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report is how they find out.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
If you’re a landlord near Yalding station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- The report contents

- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples

What else we do in Hunton
Duty holders and landlords in Hunton
For managing agents and freeholders in Hunton, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Hunton must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
The process
In a refurbishment and demolition survey, we open up the fabric of the building: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Getting ready
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Ensure we can get to the area

Helpful guides
Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and it shouldn’t be disturbed.
Which option is right?
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Why choose us
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
