Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- 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
- 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.

Asbestos survey for Salters Heath properties
The point of a survey is more than a list. It records the condition of each material, so you know what can be left and managed and what needs dealing with. Common materials are flues, garage roofs and water tanks, and people normally contact us about rented homes between tenancies and buying a property built before 2000.
Village properties around Salters Heath often come with outbuildings, which a survey can include, as cement sheet roofs and cladding were widely used on farm and garden buildings. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Salters Heath questions
Do you cover small places like Salters Heath?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you survey schools and community buildings around Salters Heath?
Yes, working with whoever is responsible for the building. The duty holder should hold an asbestos register.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Which asbestos survey do I need in Salters Heath?
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’ll recommend one when you tell us what you’re planning.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.

Common reasons for surveys in Salters Heath
Small jobs can disturb asbestos too: fitting a socket, a downlight or a new boiler flue can mean drilling into it, so knowing where it is matters.
In older properties, we often see:
- Planned refurbishment work
- Workplaces built before 2000
- Checks on rental property
- Buying a property built before 2000
For rented homes close to Bramley (Hants) station, a survey gives contractors the information they need.

- We confirm the survey type and which rooms and outbuildings it covers
- The surveyor visits, inspects and takes small samples with controls

What happens next
Keep the report somewhere safe and share it with anyone working on the building, so nobody disturbs asbestos by accident.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Book the survey before you book builders
- Let us know about locked rooms or unsafe areas
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
What to avoid
Book the survey before the builders, so there is time to deal with anything it finds.
Plan the survey early, before you book builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in Salters Heath, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Materials we deal with
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, normally bound in the bitumen.
Insulating board
It’s easy to mistake insulating board for other boards, which is why sampling matters.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- The type of material and its condition
- The quantity or area
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How easy it is to reach
Our quotes are clear about VAT.
