About our asbestos survey in Perham Down
There are two main types of survey, set out in HSE’s guide HSG264. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We’ll tell you which suits your plans in Perham Down. From rented homes due for maintenance and refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms, we deal with textured ceilings, flues and water tanks.
Village surveys around Perham Down can include extensions, stores and stables as well as the house. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

What happens next
If it finds asbestos that work would disturb, the report explains what needs removing before work starts, and what kind of work that is.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Survey first, then book the trades
Don’ts
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.

Duty holders and landlords in Perham Down
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Perham Down, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Roofing felt and bitumen
Roof felts are checked where they fall within the survey.

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

- What the report or result will contain
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- A survey identifies asbestos; it does not remove it, though we can quote for that too
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Garage and shed roofs
- Ceiling tiles
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Pipe lagging
- Soffits and porch canopies

Weighing up your options
A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it does not generally take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Why us?
- Work done to the regulations
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Domestic and commercial work
- Quotes that spell out the scope
