Asbestos survey near Passfield

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Garage roofs, sheds and flues made from asbestos cement are common in surveys of older homes. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Insulating board
Insulating board can look like ordinary plasterboard or cement board, so a lab result is essential.

What we deal with in Passfield

- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises

Passfield: your questions answered
How far is Passfield from London?
Passfield is about 42 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What will I get after the survey?
Every suspect material in the agreed scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
If you run a business from older premises in Passfield, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Pipe lagging
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks and flues
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Ceiling tiles
- Cement sheets and cladding
How we work
If a material is damaged, we will say so before we leave, rather than waiting for the report. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
- Tell us about the building, its age and why you need a survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- On the agreed day, the surveyor inspects, photographs and samples
- Samples go to an accredited laboratory for analysis
- You receive a written report with locations, results, condition and recommendations
Before we arrive
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Move things out of the way carefully

What happens next
Material in good condition often does not need removing. The report says what should be checked, and how often it might need looking at again.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Tell us exactly what work you are planning, so the scope matches
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Don’ts
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.
Your options compared
A survey or a sample test? A test answers the question for one or two specific materials; a survey looks at the whole building or work area and finds materials you might not have noticed. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

What affects the price in Passfield
We base our quote on:
- The building’s size and layout
- How many outbuildings are included
- What the material is and its state
- The number of samples or the size of the building
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

- Approximate dimensions
