Asbestos survey for Luccombe Village properties
Our surveys in Luccombe Village cover homes, rented property, shops, offices, schools and industrial units. Every report records the materials found, their location and condition, the lab results and our recommendations. Typical materials include floor tiles, garage roofs and boiler cupboard panels, and typical jobs are community buildings and halls and pre-work surveys for trades.
In a village like Luccombe Village, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

What we deal with in Luccombe Village
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. A survey is the usual way to do that.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
If you manage lettings around Shanklin station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.

Weighing up your options
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, which is where a pre-purchase asbestos survey comes in. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why choose us
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Across London and the South East
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
After we have finished in Luccombe Village
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report tells you what to keep an eye on.
A few practical points:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
Avoid these
Please do not break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Tell us the size and use of the building.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Luccombe Village?
A management survey for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey before building work. Tell us your plans and we’ll advise.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
