For businesses and landlords in King's Somborne
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
What happens next
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Don’ts
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Choosing the right option
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not generally take samples, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
What you get
- Work done to the regulations
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Practical recommendations

Why people call us in King's Somborne
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE regularly reminds tradespeople to check before they start, and a survey report is how they find out.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
If you’re a landlord near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
