How asbestos survey works in Privett
Before you buy, build or let in Privett, it helps to know what’s in the building. We look, sample and record, and an accredited laboratory analyses the samples. We often deal with floor tiles, soffits and water tanks, and people normally contact us about common parts of flats and HMOs and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises.
Rural homes near Privett have often been extended over generations, so a refurbishment survey before work checks every part being touched. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.

- A survey reflects the building on the day; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- Areas we can’t safely reach are listed in the report, and should be presumed to contain asbestos
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
