About our asbestos survey in Penton Mewsey
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building in Penton Mewsey, or the shared parts of a block of flats, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey is generally the starting point. Typical jobs include refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and buying a property built before 2000, including boiler cupboard panels, garage roofs and water tanks.
Village surveys around Penton Mewsey can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house, each scoped separately if needed. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Typical surveys in Penton Mewsey
Asbestos-containing materials were made for decades in many forms, so there’s no single place to look, which is why surveys are systematic.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Public and community buildings
- Pre-work surveys for trades
- Demolition and strip-out
- Planned refurbishment work
Schools such as Harrow Way Community School are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos and keep a register.

Materials, one by one
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, as results can differ.

What else we do in Penton Mewsey
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
What we do and do not cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
