How asbestos survey works in Odiham
Plenty of older buildings, in Odiham as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. A survey tells you which situation you’re in. Common materials are floor tiles, boiler cupboard panels and pipe lagging, and people normally contact us about demolition of garages, extensions and buildings and planned refurbishment work.
In places like Odiham, surveys generally cover a house plus its garage and outbuildings, since older garages often have cement roofs. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

What will I get after the survey?
A record of every suspect material in scope: location, laboratory result, condition, photographs and our recommendation, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do I need an asbestos survey before renovating?
For the parts of the building being worked on, yes: HSG264 says refurbishment and demolition work should be preceded by a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer report can flag suspected asbestos without testing it. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Where asbestos turns up
Most of the risk from asbestos comes from disturbing it without knowing it’s there. A survey removes the guesswork before work starts.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to surveys:
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Surveys requested by builders before work
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Purchases of older homes and buildings

Questions to ask before booking
- What the report or result will contain
- The survey type, as defined in HSG264
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
What happens next
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
A few practical points:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
Avoid these
Don’t take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Tell the surveyor everything you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
What we do and do not cover
A few things to be aware of:
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so timing needs planning
- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
