About our asbestos survey in Peasemore
A survey isn’t just a list of what’s there. It tells you which materials are fine to leave, which need watching and which should come out before work, in plain English. From refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and checks on rental property, we deal with flues, water tanks and textured ceilings.
Village surveys around Peasemore can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it won’t do before building work
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Garage and shed roofs
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Pipe lagging
- Artex and textured coatings
- Ceiling tiles
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Roofing felt and bitumen
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- The type of survey you need
- How much there is
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Location, parking and any London charges
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- Visible markings
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- An idea of size
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
For a quote, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
Lagging found in a survey is flagged clearly, and must be left alone in the meantime.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.

Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Peasemore must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
The process
The surveyor photographs and records each material’s condition, which goes into the report. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there is no confusion.
- Tell us about the building, its age and what you’re planning
- We agree the survey type and scope, and send a quote
- We inspect and sample the areas in scope
- The samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We send the report and explain the findings
Preparing for the visit
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Mention any damage before we arrive

Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Looking after things afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
Some practical advice:
- Survey first, then book the trades
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
- Ensure you can pass the report to your builder
Things not to do
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.

Common questions in Peasemore
Do you work on properties in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you come out to small villages like Peasemore?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
That depends on what you’re planning: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Describe the work and we’ll recommend one.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What will I get after the survey?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Any areas we couldn’t access are listed.
Which option is right?
It can be tempting to start work without a survey. Finding asbestos halfway through a job means stopping work, extra cost and possible exposure, so surveying first is normally cheaper in the end. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
