Asbestos survey in Isington
About our asbestos survey in Isington
We survey the whole building or just the areas you are working on, depending on what you need. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. From demolition and strip-out and pre-work surveys for trades, we cover textured ceilings, floor tiles and flues and more.
Village houses like those in Isington have often been extended and altered over time, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Your options compared
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What you get
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Condition assessed for every material
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

What we do and do not cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
How we work
For a management survey, we look into cupboards, voids and lofts that are reasonably accessible and take small samples. We seal up each sample point. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start.
- Let us know the address and why you need a survey
- We check whether a management, refurbishment and demolition or pre-purchase survey fits, and confirm the areas
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses each sample
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Clear the way to the work area
- Warn neighbours if needed
Why people call us in Isington
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Workplaces built before 2000
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Public and community buildings
A school such as Binsted 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.

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Isington questions
Could my house in Isington contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Isington?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
