Asbestos survey for Sandhurst
Which option is right?
An old survey may not be enough. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so planned refurbishment normally needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why us?
- Reports and results you can share
- Condition ratings, not just a list
- Clear written quotes
- Work done to the regulations

Asbestos survey for Sandhurst properties
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey is for a building in normal use; a refurbishment and demolition survey is for before building work. We’ll tell you which suits your plans in Sandhurst. Whether it’s purchases of older homes and buildings and managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises, we cover floor tiles, textured ceilings and flues and more.
Surveys in a town like Sandhurst are often triggered by a sale, a refurbishment or a landlord’s maintenance plan, scoped to suit. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Looking after things afterwards
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Describe the work you are planning, so the survey covers the right areas
- Make sure we can get into the loft, garage and cupboards
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- For flats, ask the managing agent for the asbestos register for the common parts
Don’ts
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Be clear about the work you’re planning, so the survey covers every area that will be disturbed.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
What it might be made of
Roofing felt and bitumen
Bitumen felts and mastics can contain asbestos, generally bound in the bitumen.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles and black bitumen adhesive can contain asbestos. They’re often found under carpet or laminate.

The scope of an asbestos survey
What’s in and what’s out:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it, though we can quote for that too
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
