Asbestos survey in Michelmersh
Asbestos survey in Michelmersh
Not every older building in Michelmersh contains asbestos, and not all asbestos needs removing. A survey tells you which situation you are in. Whether it’s contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and the communal parts of blocks of flats, we cover garage roofs, water tanks and floor tiles and more.
Village properties around Michelmersh often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Your options compared
A homebuyer report is not an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not usually take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
What you get
- Work done to the regulations
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Covering London and the South East
See how we quote and our cost guide.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Step by step
Each sample is sealed, labelled and recorded with its location, then sent to an accredited laboratory. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you.
- Describe the property and the reason for the survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- The surveyor inspects and takes samples
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that isn’t clear
How to prepare
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions

Your questions about an asbestos survey in Michelmersh
Could my house in Michelmersh contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Michelmersh can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Michelmersh from London?
We cover Michelmersh, about 69 miles from central London.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Is a survey needed before building work in Michelmersh?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSE’s guidance (HSG264) is that refurbishment and demolition work needs a refurbishment and demolition survey first.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Duty holders and landlords in Michelmersh
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and whether that work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed.
To avoid problems in future:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
Avoid these
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so they can turn up almost anywhere in an older building, which is why surveys are systematic.
In older properties, we often see:
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Checks on rental property
- Public and community buildings
- Shops, offices and industrial units
If you’re a landlord near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
What your quote should include
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
- How many samples are included
- VAT, clearly stated
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
What we do and do not cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- 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, though we can quote for that too
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Roofing felt and bitumen

- How much there is
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
