Asbestos survey in Ibworth
How asbestos survey works in Ibworth
Not every older building in Ibworth contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. The survey shows which applies to yours. Typical materials include textured ceilings, water tanks and garage roofs, and typical jobs are planned refurbishment work and common parts of flats and HMOs.
Village properties around Ibworth often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

What’s included, and what isn’t
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.

- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings

Common questions in Ibworth
Could my house in Ibworth contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Ibworth from London?
We cover Ibworth, about 50 miles from central London.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Ibworth?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans and we will advise.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.

After we’ve finished in Ibworth
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Describe the work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
Things not to do
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement was used for garage and shed roofs, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It contains a relatively low proportion of fibres bound in cement, and breaking or cutting it releases them.
Why people call us in Ibworth
For workplaces and common parts, the law requires asbestos to be identified and its risk assessed. Most duty holders commission a survey to meet that duty.
These come up again and again:
- Demolition projects
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Checks on rental property
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
If you’re a landlord near Overton station, it helps to know what’s in the building before repairs.
What to look for in a quote
- VAT, clearly stated
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
- What the report or result will contain
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
