About our asbestos survey in Picket Piece
What you’re planning in Picket Piece decides the survey: normal use and maintenance, refurbishment, demolition or a purchase. We’ll recommend the right one. Whether it’s contractors’ requests for an asbestos report and rented homes due for maintenance, we deal with soffits, boiler cupboard panels and garage roofs and more.
In Picket Piece, we often survey a house together with its garage, sheds and lean-tos, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Your options compared
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey doesn’t open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What you get
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Practical recommendations
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- Lofts, voids and outbuildings to include
- The survey type
- The number of materials to sample
- Parking and access charges
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- Labels, if any
- How we’d reach it
- The parking area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Send us the address in Picket Piece, a description and some photos: call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
What we deal with in Picket Piece
Many buildings have been extended, refitted and repaired over the years, so asbestos can turn up in later additions as well as original features, which is why surveys look everywhere in scope, not just at the obvious places.
Typical jobs in Picket Piece include:
- Demolition projects
- Rented homes between tenancies
- Schools, halls and community buildings
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
For rented homes close to Andover station, asbestos information should be ready for contractors before maintenance.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether extra samples cost more
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- Suitable insurance for the work
- VAT, clearly stated
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

A closer look at the materials
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, so a lab result is essential.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
What’s included, and what isn’t
To be clear about the scope:
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Boiler cupboards and panels
- Soffits and porch canopies
- Garage and shed roofs
- Roofing felt and bitumen
- Water tanks and flues
- Cement sheets and cladding
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Pipe lagging
- Ceiling tiles
After the job
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
A few practical points:
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Things not to do
Before the survey, leave suspect materials alone.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials, and keep trades away from them.
