Asbestos survey for Ibthorpe properties
If you are buying a home or building in Ibthorpe from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, which helps you plan and budget for any work. We often deal with pipe lagging, textured ceilings and floor tiles, and typical jobs are managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises and rented homes due for maintenance.
Village surveys around Ibthorpe can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

What else we do in Ibthorpe
Your options compared
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. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Why choose us
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
Take a look at how we price jobs and published price ranges.
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Common materials
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Floor tiles and adhesive
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so there’s no single place to look.
In older properties, we often see:
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Community buildings and halls
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
A school such as Hurstbourne Tarrant Church of England Primary School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
What your quote should include
- Which areas and materials are covered
- The scope, in writing
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Which laboratory analyses samples
After we’ve finished in Ibthorpe
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
Going forward:
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
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 there’s time to deal with anything it finds.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
How it works
Each sample is sealed, labelled and recorded with its location, before going to an accredited laboratory. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away.
- Send us the address and what you need the survey for
- We confirm whether you need a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey
- On the day we inspect, sample and photograph
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive a clear written report with recommendations
Getting ready
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Common questions in Ibthorpe
Is asbestos common in Ibthorpe homes?
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.
Do you come out to small villages like Ibthorpe?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What does the survey report include?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
