How asbestos survey works in Penton Corner
The type of survey you need in Penton Corner depends on what happens next: managing the building, refurbishing it, knocking it down or buying it. We’ll match the survey to the plan. From planned refurbishment work and demolition projects, we cover flues, water tanks and garage roofs and more.
Around a village like Penton Corner, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings, each scoped separately if needed. We only recommend work that is needed.

Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Older textured ceilings can contain asbestos. They’re low risk left alone, but shouldn’t be sanded or scraped dry.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other does not.
Looking after things afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, so they’re treated as if they contain asbestos until checked.
Once we’re done:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
Things not to do
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.

What we deal with in Penton Corner
Most of the risk from asbestos comes from disturbing it without knowing it’s there. Surveying first means nobody disturbs it by accident.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Checks on rental property
- Common parts of flats and HMOs
- Community buildings and halls
- Shops, offices and industrial units
For a school like Portway Junior School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of an asbestos survey:
- The quantity or area
- The number of materials to sample
- The type of material and its condition
- How many outbuildings are included
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- Cracks or breaks
- An idea of size
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Which option is right?
Do you need a full survey, or just a 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.
Why people choose us
- Every main survey type
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Condition assessed for every material

Can I do it myself?
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.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
- 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
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
