Limits to be aware of
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it doesn’t:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A survey reflects the building on the day; condition can change, so recheck it
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Ceiling tiles
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
Common reasons for surveys in Mislingford
Builders, electricians and plumbers need to know about asbestos before they work. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report is how they find out.
These are some of the things we deal with in Mislingford:
- Community buildings and halls
- Kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
Non-domestic buildings, Swanmore College of Technology among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
What your quote should include
- Which areas are covered, and which are not
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples

Weighing up your options
A management survey or a refurbishment and demolition survey? The first is for a building in normal use and involves minor intrusion; the second is fully intrusive and needed before 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 people choose us
- Records for your files
- Reports that say what wasn’t accessed
- Domestic and commercial work
- Condition ratings, not just a list

Duty holders and landlords in Mislingford
If your business premises in Mislingford were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, which is why sampling matters.

Do you cover Mislingford and the area around Botley station?
Yes. Botley station is about 4 miles west of Mislingford, and we cover both.
Can you survey a school or hall near Mislingford?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?

Yes, we do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Send us the size, use and age of the building.

No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
