How asbestos survey works in Kimbridge
Our surveys in Kimbridge cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. We often deal with pipe lagging, boiler cupboard panels and soffits, and people typically contact us about planned refurbishment work and rented homes due for maintenance.
In a village like Kimbridge, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Questions from Kimbridge
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Kimbridge?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. Non-domestic buildings should have an asbestos register and management plan.
Could my house in Kimbridge contain asbestos?
Any home in Kimbridge built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
What will I get after the survey?
A record of every suspect material in scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
It depends on your plans: normal use and management calls for a management survey, while refurbishment or demolition needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. Tell us more and we will advise.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Worth knowing before booking:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Common materials
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Water tanks and flues
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
After the job
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Once we are done:
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Things not to do
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Your options compared
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t usually take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Materials we deal with
Pipe lagging
If a survey finds asbestos lagging, the report will say so and recommend what to do, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
How we work
A refurbishment and demolition survey is fully intrusive: we check behind, under and inside the parts being worked on, so the rooms must be cleared. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- We inspect the areas in scope and sample suspect materials
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Getting ready
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear the way to the work area
