Asbestos survey near Mockbeggar
For landlords and managing agents in Mockbeggar, a survey gives contractors the information they need before they start. We often deal with garage roofs, flues and soffits, and typical jobs are purchases of older homes and buildings and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings.
Around a village like Mockbeggar, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Looking after things afterwards
The survey ends with a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
To avoid problems in future:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Ensure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
Things not to do
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us, rather than cleaning it up.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what an asbestos survey covers, and what it does not:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it will not do before building work
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Weighing up your options
A building survey for a purchase is not the same as an asbestos survey. It might mention possible asbestos without testing anything, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

What it might be made of
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.
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Questions from Mockbeggar
Do you come out to small villages like Mockbeggar?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Mockbeggar have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Is a survey needed before building work in Mockbeggar?
Yes, for the areas affected: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it doesn’t typically sample anything. For an answer, you need a pre-purchase asbestos survey.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The quantity or area
- Roof spaces and outbuildings in scope
- Access to the area
- The type of material and its condition
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An idea of size
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Visible markings
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
