If you are buying a home or building in Middle Wallop from before 2000, a pre-purchase survey shows what asbestos is present, and its condition, before you commit, so you can plan renovations with your eyes open. Whether it’s planned refurbishment work and community buildings and halls, we cover water tanks, garage roofs and boiler cupboard panels and more.
In a village like Middle Wallop, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

The scope of an asbestos survey
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials we see

- Ceiling tiles
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Artex and textured coatings

Options to consider in Middle Wallop
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment typically needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings such as Artex were used on ceilings and walls, and older ones can contain a small amount of asbestos. Left alone they’re low risk; sanding or dry scraping is the problem.

What we deal with in Middle Wallop
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Public and community buildings
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Buying a property built before 2000
Altering an older house in Middle Wallop, wherever it is? The rooms being worked on need surveying before the builders arrive.
What your quote should include
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- The number of samples
- The report contents
Looking after things afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
A few practical points:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
Don’ts
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
