Asbestos survey in Quidhampton
About our asbestos survey in Quidhampton
We survey houses, flats, commercial buildings and outbuildings across Quidhampton. Whatever the building, the report sets out what was found, where, the laboratory results and what we recommend. From demolition and strip-out and the communal parts of blocks of flats, we deal with pipe lagging, boiler cupboard panels and soffits and more.
In a village like Quidhampton, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Afterwards
Where planned work would disturb asbestos, the report says what has to come out first, and what kind of work that is.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
- Tell us exactly what work you’re planning, so the scope matches
Don’ts
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Until the survey is done, don’t drill, sand, cut or break suspect materials.
Choosing the right option
A building survey for a purchase isn’t the same as an asbestos survey. It may flag possible asbestos, but it doesn’t typically take samples, so a pre-purchase asbestos survey fills that gap. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Clear advice on your options
- Recommendations in plain English
- Management, refurbishment and demolition, and pre-purchase surveys

What we do and don’t cover
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and does not cover:
- Areas we cannot safely reach are listed in the report, and must be treated as containing asbestos until checked
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Common questions in Quidhampton
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Quidhampton?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you cover small places like Quidhampton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
What does the survey report include?
Locations, results, condition, photos and what we recommend for each material. Areas not accessed are listed too.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
We can sample tiles and adhesive separately, as results can differ.
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, usually well bound in.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so there’s no single place to look, which is why surveys are systematic.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Shops, offices and industrial units
- Demolition projects
- Checks on rental property
- Buying a property built before 2000
Non-domestic buildings, Overton Church of England Primary School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.
