Your questions about an asbestos survey in Monk Sherborne
Can you survey a school or hall near Monk Sherborne?
Yes, by arrangement with the duty holder. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover Monk Sherborne from London?
We cover Monk Sherborne, about 46 miles from central London.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not normally take samples for analysis. That’s what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Monk Sherborne?
That depends on what you’re planning: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Tell us more and we will advise.
What we deal with in Monk Sherborne
Older buildings have often been altered many times, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, so a survey checks the whole scope, not just obvious spots.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Planned refurbishment work
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Community buildings and halls

Comparing quotes
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Which areas and materials are covered
- That the survey follows HSE’s guide HSG264
- If the price includes VAT
Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- The type of material and its condition
- Parking and access charges
- How many different materials need sampling
- The quantity or area
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- Approximate dimensions
- The parking area
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Cracks or breaks
To get a quote, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
The scope of an asbestos survey
The usual limits are:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked

Materials in Monk Sherborne
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Cement sheets and cladding

- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits and porch canopies

Afterwards
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Keeping things safe:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Describe the work you’re planning, so the scope matches
- Have any old surveys or plans ready
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
What to avoid
If a material is damaged before the survey, keep people away from it and tell us.
Tell the surveyor everything you are planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
What happens
On the day, the surveyor walks through the areas in scope, checks every suspect material and takes small samples, wetting and sealing each sample point to keep dust down. We will tell you when we’ve finished and what you’ll receive afterwards.
- Describe the property, its age and the work you have in mind
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The report comes to you, and we explain anything that is not clear
Getting ready
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Tell us about parking and access
How to get a quote
Include any existing survey or test when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page; it helps us quote accurately.

What else we do in Monk Sherborne
Duty holders and landlords in Monk Sherborne
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you run a business from older premises in Monk Sherborne, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
A closer look at the materials
Roofing felt and bitumen
Felt on flat roofs and outbuildings is sampled where it’s in scope.
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.
