How asbestos survey works in Mattingley
Any building in Mattingley built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. The way to know for sure is a survey: a surveyor inspects the building, takes small samples of suspect materials and records the results in a report. People often contact us about purchases of older homes and buildings and surveys requested by builders before work, including textured ceilings, water tanks and pipe lagging.
Around a village like Mattingley, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Afterwards
If the survey finds asbestos in good condition, it can often be left and managed. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Survey first, then book the trades
Don’ts
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
What’s included, and what is not
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Mattingley questions
Do older homes in Mattingley have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Mattingley can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Mattingley from London?
We cover Mattingley, about 39 miles from central London.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.

Choosing the right option
Some people skip the survey and hope for the best. If asbestos is then found mid-job, work stops, costs rise and people may have been exposed, so surveying first is normally cheaper in the end. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Why choose us
