Asbestos survey in Sarisbury
HSE’s guidance describes two main survey types. A management survey covers a building in everyday use, while a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before work starts. We’ll help you choose the right one for your survey in Sarisbury. Typical jobs include checks on rental property and common parts of flats and HMOs, including textured ceilings, soffits and pipe lagging.
In Sarisbury, we often survey a house together with its garage, sheds and lean-tos, as outbuildings often have cement roofs. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

What else we do in Sarisbury
Common reasons for surveys in Sarisbury
Over time, materials deteriorate: something in good condition when it was fitted may now be damaged, which a survey records.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Community buildings and halls
- Pre-purchase checks on older properties
- Shared halls, stairs and plant rooms
- Checks on rental property
A school such as Sarisbury Church of England Junior School counts as non-domestic premises, where the law requires asbestos to be managed; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

Sarisbury questions
Do you work near Swanwick station?
Yes, we cover Sarisbury and the area towards Swanwick station, about 0.7 miles east.
Do you cover Sarisbury from London?
We cover Sarisbury, about 67 miles from central London.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
Yes, commercial and community buildings as well as homes. Send us the details of the building.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
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.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Do I need a management or a refurbishment survey?
It depends on your plans: managing a building in use means a management survey; building work means a refurbishment and demolition survey. Describe the work and we’ll recommend one.

Your options compared
An existing survey might not cover your plans. A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so refurbishment needs a fresh, intrusive survey of the work areas. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why us?
- Recommendations in plain English
- Inaccessible areas listed clearly
- Reports and results you can share
- Accredited laboratory results

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
Insulating board
Asbestos insulating board was used for panels, partitions, soffits, ceiling tiles and around heaters. Most work on insulating board is licensed, so identifying it matters.
What’s included, and what is not
It’s worth knowing what an asbestos survey does and doesn’t cover:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so plan it around the building’s use
- The report describes the building when surveyed; materials can deteriorate, so condition should be checked again over time
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it is not enough before refurbishment
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
