Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before booking:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use

How asbestos survey works in Marshborough
Our surveys in Marshborough 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. Typical jobs include buying a property built before 2000 and rented homes due for maintenance, including pipe lagging, boiler cupboard panels and textured ceilings.
Village houses like those in Marshborough have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- How many different materials need sampling
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- How big the building is
- The quantity or area
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Sending photos
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Labels, if any
- An idea of size
- Where we could park
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Options to consider in Marshborough
A homebuyer report isn’t an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t generally take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why people choose us
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Domestic and commercial work
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

After we’ve finished in Marshborough
Duty holders use the survey to build an asbestos register and management plan, which should be kept up to date.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Survey first, then book the trades
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Avoid these
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Where asbestos turns up
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos may be in later alterations as much as the original structure, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
In older properties, we often see:
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Contractors’ requests for an asbestos report
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Planned refurbishment work
If you are a landlord near Sandwich station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.
Comparing quotes
- The number of samples
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
FAQs for Marshborough
Do you cover Marshborough and the area around Sandwich station?
Yes. Sandwich station is about 1.7 miles east of Marshborough, and we cover both.
Could my house in Marshborough contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Marshborough?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you are about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. We will recommend one when you tell us what you are planning.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Will the survey damage the property?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment survey is intrusive, which is why the rooms must be empty.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What happens
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.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you’re planning
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- You get the report, and we talk you through it
Before we arrive
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Dig out previous surveys
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
