Asbestos survey for Perry properties
A survey can cover a whole building or only the rooms being refurbished, depending on what you need. The scope is agreed in writing first, so there are no surprises. Whether it’s refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms and buying a property built before 2000, we deal with boiler cupboard panels, garage roofs and soffits.
Around a village like Perry, a survey may need to cover a farmhouse, its extensions and several outbuildings. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

FAQs for Perry
Do you work near Adisham station?
Yes, we cover Perry and the area towards Adisham station, about 3.6 miles south-west.
Do you cover small places like Perry?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Perry?
Yes, we do: shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, schools and halls. Send us the size, use and age of the building.
What does the survey report include?
A record of every suspect material in scope: where it is, whether it contains asbestos, its condition, photos and what to do, plus any areas we couldn’t reach.
Is a homebuyer survey the same as an asbestos survey?
No. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t normally take samples for analysis. That is what a pre-purchase asbestos survey is for.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Perry?
If the building is in normal use and you need to manage what’s there, a management survey. If you are about to refurbish or demolish, a refurbishment and demolition survey of the areas affected. We will recommend one when you tell us what you are planning.

Helpful guides
What’s included, and what is not
To be clear about the scope:
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it isn’t enough before refurbishment
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

After we have finished in Perry
After the survey you get a written report: what was found, where, the laboratory results, the condition of each material and our recommendations.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Survey first, then book the trades
Avoid these
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone, and keep trades away from them.

What we deal with in Perry
Duty holders for non-domestic premises must find out whether asbestos is present and assess its risk. A survey is the usual way to do that.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Refurbishment, rewiring and new kitchens or bathrooms
- Public and community buildings
- Rented homes between tenancies
If you let flats or houses near Adisham station, share asbestos information with trades before work.
Questions to ask before booking
- Suitable insurance for the work
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Whether VAT is included
- The number of samples
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Choosing the right option
Do you need a full survey, or just a test? Testing tells you about the materials you sample, and nothing else; a survey covers everything in scope, including materials nobody had spotted. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why us?
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Each material’s condition recorded
- Clear notes on any areas not reached
- Recommendations in plain English

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Cement roofs, flues, gutters and tanks are among the most common finds. The fibres are bound in cement, but it releases fibres when broken, cut or abraded.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, generally well bound in.
