Duty holders and landlords in Middleton
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
For managing agents and freeholders in Middleton, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
How asbestos survey works in Middleton
We survey the whole building or just the areas you’re working on, depending on what you need. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. From planned refurbishment work and schools, halls and community buildings, we cover soffits, boiler cupboard panels and textured ceilings and more.
Village surveys around Middleton can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Where asbestos turns up
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, 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.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Planned refurbishment work
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
If you manage lettings around Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.

The scope of an asbestos survey
We are upfront about what’s included:
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Water tanks and flues
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Ceiling tiles
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
After we have finished in Middleton
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
After we’ve finished:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
Things not to do
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
If something has been damaged already, close the area off and let us know.
The process
Samples are bagged, labelled and logged against their location, before going to an accredited laboratory. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you’re planning
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- An accredited laboratory analyses the samples
- We send the report and explain the findings
Before we arrive
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
Ask for a quote
To get a quote, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

Which option is right?
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? A management survey suits a building in use; a refurbishment and demolition survey looks behind and under surfaces before building work. See our guide to which survey you need. The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why us?
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Every main survey type
- Covering London and the South East
- Practical recommendations

Middleton questions
Can you survey a school or hall near Middleton?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do older homes in Middleton have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Middleton may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do landlords need an asbestos survey?
Duty holders for workplaces and common parts generally need one. Landlords of single homes often use one too, so they know what’s there before work.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
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.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
