Asbestos survey in Inhurst
Whether you are buying, renovating or letting in Inhurst, a survey answers the asbestos question. Our surveyor inspects, samples and records, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. People often contact us about rented homes between tenancies and demolition and strip-out, including pipe lagging, water tanks and textured ceilings.
Village properties around Inhurst often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Inhurst: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Inhurst?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Inhurst have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Inhurst may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
What happens next
Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
After we have finished:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Book the survey before you book builders
Things not to do
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Weighing up your options
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, which is why surveying first tends to save money. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why us?
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Condition assessed for every material
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Recommendations in plain English

The scope of an asbestos survey
What’s in and what’s out:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
Common reasons for surveys in Inhurst
The danger generally comes from drilling, cutting or sanding a material nobody knew contained asbestos. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.
In older properties, we often see:
- Checks on rental property
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Workplaces built before 2000
Schools such as The Hurst School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which areas and materials are covered
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work

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.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
How we work
If we find something that’s damaged and could be releasing fibres, we tell you on the day, so you can keep people away. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Start by telling us about the property and your plans
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
Getting ready
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Keep children and pets away on the day
