Asbestos survey near Priddy's Hard
Asbestos survey near Priddy's Hard
Plenty of older buildings, in Priddy's Hard as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. A survey tells you which situation you’re in. Typical jobs include purchases of older homes and buildings and community buildings and halls, involving garage roofs, flues and textured ceilings.
Village properties around Priddy's Hard often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

What we do and do not cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Inaccessible areas are recorded, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
- The survey tells you what’s there; removal is a separate job, though we can quote for that too

Common questions in Priddy's Hard
Do you come out to small villages like Priddy's Hard?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Priddy's Hard homes?
Any home in Priddy's Hard built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Does a survey leave holes?
A management survey takes small samples, which are sealed afterwards. A refurbishment survey opens up the areas being worked on, which is why they need to be empty.
Do you survey commercial buildings in Priddy's Hard?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
After the job
The survey ends with a written report: locations, results, condition and recommendations for every material in scope.
A few practical points:
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- In a block of flats, ask for the register of the shared areas
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
Don’ts
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
